Intro: Hello!

I'm Joe, as you may have already guessed!.
I live near Oxford in England and am lucky enough to have the river Thames right next to me so I can photograph all the insects that live there. I also love bird photography but suprisingly, there aren't many birds where I live :(
My other interest include sport, biology and particularly Herpetology - I am a member of the BHS (British Herpetologist Society), but you won't see many Reptile shots in my gallery as there aren't many of them here either! (In my whole life all I've seen here are two Grass Snakes!)
I joined this awesome site on the 7th of February 2007 English time (not the 6th of Feb like it says below which was running on U.S. time!). Before then I had no knowledge on the technical aspects of photography and the best camera I had was a tiny Goodmans G-shot camera that had 3 megapixels, no optical zoom and no manual controls!!
But as soon as I joined TrekNature I was instantly gripped, with all the helpful critiques and amazing photos. I then wanted to be able to shoot photos as good as the other members here so had to buy a better camera. After a few weeks of reviewing and searching, I bought the Canon Powershot S3 IS and it completely changed my life. It was really great for about 8 months, then feeling the limitations from my compact, I upgraded to the Canon EOS 400D which refreshed my love of photography!
I can't go anywhere without it ... paranoid about seeing a great potential photo and not being able to photograph it. I suppose you could say that I am completely obsessed with both photography and Treknature... but many of us here are anyway! ;-)

Anyway,
The members on this site are amazing. Their photographs are mind-blowing, their knowledge on photography and wildlife is mind-boggling and everyone is very kind and helpful. Cheers to the other trekkies! :-D
To anyone who hasn't joined yet and is reading this, I strongly recommend you join! You will love it!

To the members of this site, I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to comment on my photos and answer the forums I put out :-)

Thanks for looking at my account and I hope you enjoy browsing my photos.
