About Myself

Welcome to my website

My name is Michael Gaylard, and I am an amateur photographer living in West Sussex, England.

Photography Background

Some years ago a trip to visit friends in Abu Dhabi rekindled an interest in photography and I started taking what I realised later were just holiday snapshots.

At the time I could not afford much in the way of a camera, it was a Fuji digital bridge camera something or other and whilst it served its purpose I grew bored with its limitations and so embarked on the expensive hobby of photographyusing Nikon DSLR's. First I had a D3200, followed by a D600, and now I have a D780 as well.

I decided to take early retirement on the 1^st November 2021. Prior to retirement I had spent 35 years in IT working on developing databases, intranet pages and a myriad of other mainframe applications.

What Will You Find Here?

Nothing is for sale, no services are offered, no cart!

All of my images are stored on Flickr and are available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. So they can be used and altered for free providing you attribute me.

So far, I have had about 170 images used online.

I am unashamedly amateur, and also something of a generalist in my photography. A lot of my pictures are of travel destinations, but if I see something I like, I will photograph it. So you will find lots of flowers and plants, engineering and architecture. I also take the occasional bird life shot too when I am out my photography buddy. Lately, street scenes are appearing more and more in my output.

The photographs here are organised into two main groups:

Gallery Of Places, where each country visited has its own page or set of pages
Gallery Of Things, where images are presented on pages based on theme or subject matter.

I hope you find something to like here.
