TITLE: The Drinking Dino: Flamborough

This image was captured on a stunning morning and isolating the outline of the rock formation which is locally known as 'The Drinking Dinosaur' was my objective coupled with a fine art approach to post processing. I love, being immersed in nature to capture that moment, being present to absorb the beauty of landscape and then sharing that point in time with anyone who cares to appreciate the resulting photograph.

My photographic journey began during Lockdown when I suddenly realised I had time to demystify the meaning of all those lettered dials on a camera and finally get off auto.

From the moment I tried to capture birds-in-flight I knew I had found a new obsession to replace my passion for gravity mountain biking.

My first camera was a Panasonic Lumix G3 in 2013 and quite frankly I didn’t know what a mirrorless compared to a DSLR was or what a M43 was compared to a full frame!

But I have stayed loyal to Panasonic Lumix and the M43 format, appreciating not only the quality but the convenience of size & weight.

I shoot with both a Lumix G9M2 and G9 which I couple with the following Panasonic Leica lens: 12-60mm, 50-200mm, 100-400mm and a 200mm prime. I use Manfrotto tripods and Three Legged Thing brackets & heads.

I enjoy all genres of photography but do favour being out & about in nature, especially early mornings and late evenings to catch those golden hour shots.

Recently I have gained my LRPS distinction.
