Retirement from chemistry teaching  in 2003 allowed me to spend more  leisure time following interests in natural history, hill walking  and photography.

I enjoy searching for, and photographing rare wildflowers and fungi and think of myself as a naturalist who takes photographs rather than a photographer who takes nature photographs .

Most of the photographs have been taken with a Sigma SD14 camera. I have recently changed to an SD15 which has better low light performance.   
The lenses used are a Sigma 100mm macro , Sigma 17-70 mm zoom and  Sigma 150mm-500mm telephoto . All are taken on the spot, without artificial  set-ups of any kind.

The Sigma SD15 is, to my mind, underrated as a camera.   It produces digital  images with an almost three dimensional quality  and accurate saturated  colours .

The camera body is chunky and robust, and  takes rougher treatment than many better known makes.

A few photographs have been taken using a Canon S90 Digital Compact.  The web-site has been set up using my own limited knowledge of web design.

Everyone sees Earth through a different window, this is my window.
