My name is Tom. I have meant to do a blog for a long time now, and have finally got round to doing one. For those of you that don't know what I look like, there is a mugshot of myself below. Emphasis on the mug in mugshot.
Diving in Plymouth Sound |
I have just finished a degree in Environmental Science and Marine Conservation at Plymouth university, where I also completed my HSE professional scuba course.
Its during my three years in Plymouth that I fell in love with the natural world, something that has always interested me, but the course and the insanely awesome coast and countryside in the south west made me realise just how important and valuable wildlife is. Totally inspired, I took up photography, focusing on the underwater world with a SeaLife compact, and an Olympus OM-10 35mm film camera. I made the transition to digital fairly quickly, and bought a DSLR for my 22nd birthday, as my loyalty lies with Olympus (probably not for much longer), and being on an extreme student budget, I bought and use an E-450.
Got to love a bit of Cornwall! |
Kingfisher on the River Ivel |
I hope to blog, on a monthly basis, what I discover, with interesting facts, and also post some of my attempts at photographing wildlife as I go. I have no idea how successful the blog will be, and whether or not I will manage to keep it up, but most importantly I hope you enjoy reading it, and maybe even learn something new!
My next blog will include my wet and windy winter trips to the Isle of Wight and the Lake District, mostly in the hope of seeing our native Red Squirrels...
Cheers!
