My Bio
Hi, I'm Claire!

I've recently graduated from University. Photography is a hobby of mine and I strive to improve myself as I go. I've only had very basic training on how to use a DSLR, so most of it is intuition, self teaching and tips from others. My main focus is on wildlife, particularly (local) birds, though I sometimes try my hand at landscape and architecture too.

Advice on how to improve my shots is more than welcome :)

Favourite Movies
Anything Pixar, Sweeney Todd, 300, LotR, PotC, and many others
Favourite TV Shows
Doctor Who, Whose Line is it Anyway?
Tools of the Trade
Nikon D5000, 18-55 kit lens, 70 - 300 lens, me.
Other Interests
paintballing, rollerblading, judo, photography etc

It's 2018!

However, I have tried to get on here occasionally as I love seeing the latest works of all you guys :) As the nights draw in and the weather turns cold and grey, I think I'm going to be a bit more active again. I also invested a little bit in my computing equipment, which means I am now on a lookout for a suitable photo editor. I therefore have two questions: 1) What photo-editing software do you use / would you r

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2014 brings you everything you wish for and more :) Since I have 113 active / not so active followers, I thought I'd do a photography special from within my followers to say thank you!
