A little about me

Old friends

I’m Nigel.  The Westcountry has been my home for many years now and it is a place I love.  I’ve been a walker since I was very young indeed and I have my parents to thanks for ensuring I felt at home in & enjoyed wild places.  Dartmoor is my home territory and I walk there as much as I can.  I am pretty familiar with the south moor & know the north moor well enough.  I’ve also walked in most of the National Parks in England as well as in Wales (Brecon Beacons, mid Wales & Snowdonia) and Scotland.  I have also walked in fairly wild parts of Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland & some of the Greek Islands.  That still leaves me with plenty to do!

I’ve taken photographs since I was young and had various cameras.  Some years ago I had an slr (single lens reflex camera) but waiting to get films developed tried my patience too much.  The digital era makes things far more rewarding.  I started with an Olympus some years back and then bought another.  Something over three years ago I was planning to buy a digital slr when my son showed me his Panasonic FX-01 – the images were so good that I went out & bought one.  I have been very pleased with the images from that camera but a change in life last year made me review the dslr decision again & I bought a Sony alpha 350 with a Tamron 18-200 lens.  There is more information about equipment and software here.

The course I completed last year taught me a lot and I’d like to think that my images are of a high technical quality now.  A few of my images are freely licensed under Creative Commons licensing – they are available on Wikimedia Commons.  Other images are available to purchase – feel free to contact me if you are interested in any you see (or would like to know if I have others – I do!).  Nigel @ this domain will get me or click here.  Thanks.
