Hello one and all

[UKHero64]

Hi the name is Nik and I live in Wolverhampton with my wife Helen and two boys Samuel aged 16 and Jamie aged 3. Big age gap but makes it interesting. Been in to photography for a few years but in the last few have started to invest more in my kit, recent purchases include a Canon 7D 70-200 f2.8 IS USM Mk2 and a Canon 600EX-RT speedlight. I would at some point like to become a full time pro photographer.

Flickr: Nik Andrews' Photostream Is my flckr account.

How do I post pictures from flickr to here?

Cheers Nik

I think imagemaker may have a few years on you..maybe.
if you have any interest at all in sports photography, he is a great resource here. lot of experience and great advice if your the listening type.

Probably older. I watched Masters of the Universe with my 28 year old son a couple of weeks back, it was his favourite movie when he was a kid.

Yes if the 46 in your name denotes your year of birth you do as mine is 1964. I have an interest in taking pictures and as yet I dont have a preference to the style or subject. I am trying to build my portfolio with all types of photography so yes sport is also in the mix.
