My current cameras are micro 4/3 bodies from Olympus, along witha selection of Olympus and Panasonic lenses. Shooting is in RAW format for maximum quality and images are then processed using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop before resizing for web use. Most photos are uncropped during processing and can thus be supplied in sizes up to the native resolution of the cameras.
Only a small number of my photos appear on this or my companion photography blog. I enjoy plant, garden, nature, local landscape, macro and insect photography and have built up a wide selection of high quality images. An increasing number of these are now available as Rights Managed images through the Alamy Stock Agency. Feel free to contact me if you are looking for a specific shot or subject within these areas. I might have what you are looking for.

/Rant begins
It
has been necessary due to the continued theft of images by larger,
commercial, for profit, websites who steal without payment or credit and
then expect to get away with their copyright infringement simply by
taking the images down when contacted. Unfortunately, that's no longer
an option. If you are a commercial business* you will be invoiced at
the same rate as if you had licensed any of my images
currently available through Alamy. Plus damages. Plus any lawyer's fees. Plus expenses.
Which
all sounds very threatening. It's meant to be. Sorry, but stealing my
images to increase your profits means you have lost the right to
negotiate on price - and, trust me, it's far cheaper to settle quickly
before lawyers get involved. And, whatever you do, don't think you can hide a copyright infringement by stripping the
embedded metadata or removing my copyright notice. That's a whole new offence and will cost even more.

*Hobbyist,
enthusiast bloggers are not businesses. I can generally provide limited permission for fully credited image use providing I'm asked. Tiny,
specialist nurseries deserve every support they can get and will always
get highly preferential rates. In fact, if there are any in Devon or
Cornwall who would be interested in exchanging photographic access to
the nursery for high quality images for use in your advertising please
let me know on the above email address.
