I live in the Greater Manchester area of the UK and enjoy walking with my dog. Although I have an Nikon D80 SLR camera, this gets little use, as I prefer a pocket size digital when on long walks.I can only describe my photos as point and shoot, some work, others don't but the ones I think are OK, sometimes end up on Google Earth for location Information and views.As you can see from my web site, which hasn't been updated for quite a while, I have a few other hobby's.
