Since childhood I have been interested in both photography and nature. Inevitably the two interests combined into a passion for nature photography.

I became a member of the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) in 1989. I gained my Licenciateship in 1990, my Associateship in 1994 and in May 2006 I was awarded a Fellowship. Both the Associateship and the Fellowship were achieved in the Nature category.

You will not be surprised to learn that I am also an active member of the RPS Nature Group. During the 16 years or so of which I have been a member, I have been very fortunate to have forged many new friendships with a number of excellent photographers who have offered encouragement and advice. I first joined the Nature Group Committee in 1993 and became its Chairman from 2001 to 2003. I am currently Editor of the group's magazine 'The Iris'.

My photographic interests are not exclusively natural history - I also enjoy landscape and sports as well as a variety of other subjects. The gallery pages show a broad range of images which, time allowing, I hope to update regularly.  I hope you will make a return visit and, if you enjoy viewing the images, please leave a message in the Guestbook.

The images in the galleries will run as slide shows.  The images on this website are all low resolution, nevertheless they are protected by copyright laws and must not be downloaded or reproduced in any form without the written permission of the owner, Dawn Osborn, FRPS, AFIAP.
