Hi,
My Name is Mickey.
I became interested in photography after being inspired by my brother Jay.
Jay has a real eye for what makes a brilliant photo. I love the work he does taking pictures of people. I have tried to do this but fail miserably. I suppose that due to working with people and being around people constantly while at work I have very little interest in making people a subject matter and so move toward things which I really enjoy the most.
I love wildlife and countryside however appreciate that not every one does.
I have recently taken up photography and am still learning the rules about taking good photo's such as ensuring you take the lens cap off before you start shooting !!!!!
Last year my partner Chris and I went to Cornwall for the first time.
We have taken long haul flights previously to holiday and to see flora and fauna however we were not fully aware of what we have on our own doorstop in the U.K.
We decided on a driving holiday and we set off from London.
It took us a leisurely six hours to get there.
Both of us fell in love with Cornwall straight away and the people there were so friendly and helpful. We couldn't believe the things Cornwall had to offer and some of it was fairly inexpensive.
We decided before we went, not to book in anywhere for the 7 day trip and left it to chance to find B & B's where we could.
We also ensured that in the event that we could not find somewhere we prepared ourselves by packing a small tent and some sleeping bags . (Looking back I don't think both of us would have fit in the tent but it didn't come to that thankfully.)
The photos you are about to see were taken on various trips out when we went to the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens Of Heligan, The Minack Theatre, the National Seal Sanctuary and a couple of other places.
On our trip to Cornwall it only rained twice: once for 3 days and then for 2 days. We were lucky on a couple of days to get some good weather.
The photos in the next blogs are divided into three categories 1) Flora, 2) Fauna and 3) Scenic.
1) Flora:
