Ready To Fly Canon 5D Mk IV, Canon 400mm lens @ F7.1, 1/1600s, ISO250 WHAT DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH TODAY? I think I probably take too many photos, trying to get a perfect shot and struggling to delete the near duplicates just in case I can use even part of an image at a later date. I’m also just learning how to edit my photos - I never used to edit other than cropping as I wasn’t at all confident with editing software, so post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop is something I’m working on. WHAT ARE YOU SHOOTING WITH? I use a Canon 5D IV and a selection of lenses. My favourites would be the Canon 24-105mm, Canon 400mm, and the 24-70mm, the latter being a great all round lens which I use for landscape shots. I love the detail I can capture of birds with the 400mm lens but it’s rather bulky - it doesn’t fit in my bag, so it’s not a lens to carry around all the time! WHAT DOES PHOTOGRAPHY MEAN TO YOU AND HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK? Photography is my time out and a way to record my memories - I’m hoping to one day get really old and relive life again through my photographs! I will usually go out on my own looking for a photo opportunity but sometimes go out with a couple of my photo buddies, Anita and Kate. I’m happy to have a go at most genres. I enjoy landscape and macro photography but I especially love birds - I’m always trying to capture a nice sharp bird image. Last winter I began feeding the tui that visited our garden looking for food. I was blessed that the few we had brought their friends back so I had quite a number to pose for photos and was able to capture them while they were feeding or in the surrounding trees. I particularly love the detail of their feathers which is what I am always trying to get as sharp as possible, along with their eyes of course. I also really enjoy macro photography for the same reason, the detail - I think this love of details comes from my accounting background! YOU REGULARLY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR READERS’ SUBMISSIONS SECTION, WHAT MAKES YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE? I like to contribute to readers' submissions to share my photography, hoping to give someone a smile or a glimpse of the fine details nature provides that they otherwise might not see. Sometimes I get out and take new photos for the theme if it’s something I can do relatively close to home but I also like looking back through my archives for something suitable. My older photos bring back memories and sometimes I can pick up an unedited image I’ve taken from the archives and improve it in Lightroom or Photoshop.
