And so it begins...with hoverflies.

Welcome!

Almost exactly a year ago I picked up my camera. In no time at all I found that I was most comfortable photographing wildlife. These were some of the first pictures I snapped whilst out in our SE London garden last spring and summer (2010). Being a cat, I had no concept of aperture or shutter speed. Therefore almost all of these pictures were taken using the 'point, click, and hope for the best' technique.

I think I may have some other pictures of hoverflies elsewhere. I shall ask Frank to search the hard drive for me but, in the meantime, I hope that you've enjoyed these ones.
