Mother's Love

Lynda was introduced to photography by her father at a very young age - 6 or 7 years old, when he described it as 'magic'.  She was hooked. She learned by trial and error, finding her way into new techniques, new styles, whilst she taught physics full time.  She acquired her first digital camera in 1994 along with a copy of Photoshop 4.0 and has never looked back.  She tentatively went into Club competitions and realised the feedback was very useful.  Growing in confidence, she started to do well and was encouraged to enter BPEs.  She finally achieved her Fellowship (500+ Salon acceptances).  She retired from teaching, and started to explore her local area and particularly the zoo, and then just 'started playing' back home.  This way her love of creating composite images began.  Her main photographic interest has always been wildlife and wildlife features strongly in many of her images,  She  enjoys the time spent in post processing as much as time spent with a camera in hand.  Very self-efacing and modest, Lynda is an example of pure passion combined with curiousity and imagination - she'll try anything and never stops learning.  The second half she gave us great tips on how to create some wonderful composite images.  Did you know that if you talk for long enough to sheep - they will turn and look at you!?!
