September 2023 - update:
Coming up to 1000 blips, I feel it’s time to update my profile!
I’m pleased to say I’ve been successful in my aim to take photos everyday using my ‘proper’ camera rather than my iPhone - though I still feel iPhone’s take fantastic wide angle shots, and sometimes it’s definitely easier to go with convenience!
My old faithful Canon 7D has been pensioned off, replaced by the 90D. More recently, I’ve joined the mirrorless revolution with an R7. Hopefully, over the last 1000 blips, I’ve improved my skills; I’ve certainly developed my knowledge - of photography, but also of natural history, something I didn’t expect - and thanks to challenges, I’ve expanded my repertoire of styles and subjects though, of course, I’ve still got huge amounts to learn!

December 2020
I’m a retired teacher living in North Wales. A keen amateur photographer for many years, most of my focus has been on travel photography - particularly portrait and wildlife. Recently, travel has become impossible for obvious reasons, and I’ve turned to the local area as my focus. I’m a bit obsessed with water, sky and reflections - and hopefully blip will help me to broaden my subject matter. My ‘proper’ camera is a very well-travelled and battered Canon 7D, but rely heavily on my iPhone when I’m on my daily walks - so again I need the challenge to use my Canon more! I’m looking forward to the challenge of a photo a day - and the chance to engage with other members of the blip community!
