Hi , I ' m 27 and currently living in the Scottish Borders . I ' ve been interested in photography since childhood , when I was taught the basics by my journalist Father . My interests mainly lie in photojournalism and travel photography , but I enjoy many aspects other than those two . I recently returned to the UK from 6 months traveling abroad where I thoroughly enjoyed being able to fully engage in photography and capture the places I visited and the people I encountered along the way . My time spent away cemented my interest in the possibility of some day earning a living through photography and I ' m currently trying to save the money required for a fullframe camera and required lenses after struggling for a long time and becoming increasingly frustrated with my cropped sensor Canon 1000 dDigital Rebel XS . However , I ' m trying to not let my equipment deter me and have recently been trying to make the most of the countryside and rolling hills that I ' m surrounded by . 1 . My favourite photo and the one that I ' d say I ' m happiest with the results was a shot that I took while walking around Hanoi . I ' d only just arrived and was waiting to cross the road when I noticed a street barbershop and was able to capture this photo . I was really happy with the result and the expression captured . 2 . A shot that I ' d have liked to have been able to do more with was taken in Vancouver as the sun was setting . I ' d have really benefited from a tripod at that moment and struggled with setting exposure to the level required for a crisp image . is the result after trying to reduce some of the noise imposed by a limited iso . 3 . Some recent images of the countryside where I do my best to achieve a result that shows off the local landscapeanimals . And hereThanks everyone and looking forward to seeing everyone else ' s work going forward .
