My first camera was an Olympus OM-10, that I used to take motorsport images, I never knew about camera clubs or competition’s then. Life takes over when you are in your 20’s so it ended up just coming on holidays. I still have the camera today and used the 50mm lens on my digital Canon.
Motorsport is still my passion, if it has an engine and races, I probably know something about it.
But I have dabbled in most style to get a better understanding and to learn new things.
Fast forward some years and a divorce, my new partner (now wife) saw some of my pictures and said these are good and then made by a camera, a Canon 350d.
The internet had arrived and I found my first camera club to see how good/bad I was, the competition bug hit. I have since found about many more competitions nationally and internationally, with some degree of success of having images accepted around the world.
In 2018 my work gave me the opportunity to Cumbria, in the town of Ulverston, the birth place of Stan Laurel. While my passion sport remains, the landscape of Cumbria is stunning and one of the best places to be in the world.
