2015: A year of change!

Hello ladies and gents,

So i’ll keep this brief; 2015 was a big year of change for me, as I’m sure it has been for many of you. In the past 365 days I have found myself working in a field that I had never considered before, making more of an effort with a hobby that I had previously lost confidence in, and I have been in a relationship with someone that makes everyday exciting even though we are miles apart.

I know I do not post as much as I should on here, and I will try my best to improve that over the coming year, but I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you that continually come back and like the work that I have posted. It is a big confidence boost for me, and encourages me to continue improving on my photography.

Anyway below are some of the shots which never made it on to the blog, mainly due to time constraints and me being indecisive as to what images to post. While we’re on that topic, has anyone got any tips on how to stop yourself taking hundreds of photos of the same thing? Seems to be a real bad habit of mine.

Again I digress, please enjoy the shots below and I wish you all the best in 2016!

Hello there Ladies and Gents,

Here are a few shots from my recent trip to Chessington Zoo with my family (and my new Canon 70D). I’m splitting this post down in to two parts, don’t want to overload you all with mass images. So if you like this first part, please come back soon to see the rest.

As always thank you for stopping by and checking out my images, it means a great deal.
