Hello and a warm welcome to my site. There's not much here yet, but I shall add more very soon.
I'm Rachel and live in a market town on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Most of the time I work as a teacher, a job I enjoy, but for real relaxation I love to head out with my camera. Sometimes I get no further than my garden - which is a haven for wildlife. Other times I'll visit local nature reserves and woods.
My main interest is photographing insects and I have a real soft spot for ladybirds.
I didn't get hooked on photography until early 2007, as it wasn't until then that I first had a compact camera capable of taking close-ups of small things. I quickly moved on to a DSLR with macro lens and recently added a longer lens for birds and the like, but haven't really tested it yet.
I prefer to shoot handheld and using natural light, mainly because I can't be doing with the palaver of tripods and flashes. There are times, however, that I know I've missed opportunities because of inadequate light and so perhaps one day I'll get my ring flash out of its box and actually use it!
I have two teenage children who tend to resist my efforts to persuade them to join me on my nature bimbles. Waiting for ages while Mum photographs yet another beetle is probably not the most exciting way to spend their time! There's hope for them yet, though... I used to get dragged out on nature rambles by my parents which I didn't always appreciate at the time. Little did I realise then that those childhood experiences would have such an effect on my life when I 'grew up'!
More of my photos can be seen on my Flickr site.

Hi Rachel,
Wow what great images the fungi shots are really good, guess what I will be looking for this weekend!
I have just started my own site www.wildaboutwildlife.co.uk and whilst look for inspiration I found your site.
I have to upload a lot of images to my site over the next week or so, but I hope it looks ok in the end.
If you could give we any feedback on my site via the guest book I would be grateful, maybe add me to your links sections :)
