My name is Richard Parker and I am an amateur photographer based in Kent.
I have always been keen on photography but things really took off when I got my first Digital SLR in December 2006.
My primary interest is in Nature and Wildlife photography. The majority of my photographs are of British wildlife and Flora but occasionally something more exotic may appear if I am lucky enough to travel further afield.
