ABOUT

WELCOME

This is my new photographic website, which features many of my images taken on Bardsey Island, North Wales. Please take a look at the various galleries, and I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. I am currently having issues with the smart phone view of the website, and so please make sure you view this on a desktop computer if the site looks blurred on your iPhone.

I am a young wildlife enthusiast and passionate wildlife photographer, and live on the small island of Bardsey, off the coast of North Wales. I have always been interested in wildlife, in partiular birds, and have been taking pictures of the natural world since I was about eight. After my family and I moved to Bardsey Island in 2007, my interest in birds and photography deepened significantly.

I have now lived on this small Welsh island for eight years, being homeschooled through my GCSEs and A Levels, whilst gradually becoming more and more involved with the work of Bardsey Bird and Field Observatory. Largely thanks to the influence of the BBFO, I am now an enthusiastic moth recorder, a C permit holder for bird ringing, and a very keen birder. During my time on Bardsey Island, I have been capturing images of its birdlife, as well as the insects and plants that inhibit its rocky coast and vegetated interior.

EQUIPMENT

The pictures on this website were taken with a mix of different cameras and lenses. I have upgraded and changed my equipment a few times in the last five years, but I will outline below which lenses were used to take the majority of pictures on my website. Here is my equipment list:

Canon EOS 7D (virtually all of the pictures on the site were taken using this)

Canon 300mm f4 (a lot of the bird images were taken with this)

Canon 300mm f2.8 (all of my most recent work was taken using this)

Canon 1.4x converter III (I use the converter on the 300mm lenses all the time)

Canon 100mm f2.8 macro (used for virtually all of the insect and macro images)

Sigma 105mm f2.8 (only the most recent macro images were using this lens)

Wimberley tripod head mount (more in recent months to stabilize my lens)
