About My Photography
I have now upgraded my first DSLR and gone full-frame although still haven't really learned how to use it properly! Current photography can best be described as more luck than judgement, however, by next year I hope to be saying its more down to judgement than luck!!

Anything Else We Should Know
Quotes:
“Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.” Edward Wymper
“In the current playgrounds of their sport, mountaineers learn what primitive people know instinctively – that mountains are the abode of the dead, and that to travel in the high country is not simply to risk death but to risk understanding it.” Robert Reid
