I am in no way a professional… but I bought myself some second hand kit and thought I’d take it up as a hobby. The feedback I’ve had so far has been really good! So I thought I’d start a little gallery here, for myself really but for others to enjoy if they fancy.

My Setup

Currently I have the below set up, all bought second hand a bit battered! But it works well for what I need, which is a combination of capturing memories (these likely wont make it here so not to publish anyone’s face without permission!) and animals… after all, I am ‘Animal Mad‘.

• Canon EOS 1200D DSLR
• EF-S 18-55mm
• EF-S 75-300mm

My dog will feature a lot, I hope you like dogs. But you will also be treated to some of the epic adventures I am lucky enough to go on, from safaris to city breaks. I am saving to invest in a lens with higher zoom capability, I’ll keep you updated…

Kruger National Park, South Africa – October 2022

We saved and we saved, until we could go on our dream holiday! My husband and I are both Africa fans, we went on our honeymoon in South Africa in 2017; a very different holiday with only 3 days of 14 on safari due to the budget. This time around, we discovered Kruger, where you can self drive at a fraction of the price! So we rented a campervan and went on our adventure…
