Ian’s
interest in nature photography came about when he and Shelagh booked a
holiday to Zambia and Malawi in 2005. Inspired by a fellow student who
had produced superb images with modest equipment on a similar trip 30
years previously, he took the plunge into digital and invested in a
canon 10D and a couple of lenses. He was immediately impressed by the
freedom of the digital age and the outstanding image quality that
seemed possible. Slowly, he upgraded the gear, but more importantly,
joined a forum based group of very helpful nature photographers
(Nature Photographers Network) whose critique was of immense value in
his quest to improve the quality of his shots. He still sees himself
on the lower slopes of the learning curve of nature photography.
His
particular interest is in birds, mainly local ones, but he is also
keen to explore every facet of UK wildlife. Currently, he is still
working full-time as a GP so many of his aspirations will have to wait
for a few years before they can come to fruition. He looks forward to
a new “career” when retirement arrives. He is about to embark on a new
project - to raise money for medical charities by selling some of his
images through his surgery.
