When and why did you take up photography?

I've taken pictures for many years whilst out and about but it became apparent a couple of years ago I was getting quite good at it, so decided to take it more seriously.

What do you love about taking pictures?

I just love the outdoors in general, so anything to do with nature - landscape and seascape mountains lakes and rivers, also have a love for architecture and urban photography too.

Where is your favourite place to take pictures?

Wouldn't say I had a particular favourite place but the majority of my free time is spent in North Wales somewhere, so would say it's my biggest passion.

What equipment do you use?

Predominantly my iPhone 14 Pro as is easy to carry around but when the big camera comes out I have a Nikon D3500 with either an 18-140mm or a 50mm lens and tripod.

What do you enjoy about being part of the Leader Camera Club?

I love to see everyone else's takes on photography it's great to see so many different unique styles that people have.

If you could photograph anyone or any place who/what would it be?

One place I've always wanted to photograph is Iceland and will hopefully get there one day to do it.

Anything else you think we should know?

Nothing as yet but hopefully will be getting involved with some exhibitions in the future and any award would be an amazing feeling should that ever happen.
