NWPS - Galleries My interest in photography began on my 11th birthday, when my father, a very keen and competent amateur photographer, bought me my first camera ; .a Zeiss Ikon Contina I. As my late teens approached girls and cars became more interesting than photography and although I was never without a camera when out and about, it wasn't until 2001 that I began to take it seriously once again. This coincided with my making frequent trips to Florida and discovering it's stunning variety of wildlife. This and landscapes have now become the main subjects of my photography, especially as I can at the same time, enjoy my other main hobby of walking.   Natural World Photographic Society photography by: John Alsop
