"I just wanted to send you an email to say, thank you so much to Wild Wonders for the competition prizes, it was amazing opening the parcel and seeing what I'd got! I'm positive the camera will be put to good use, as I've always wanted another camera specifically for landscapes; and now I can use the Nikon D60."

Pro Tips for Beginners by David Maitland

1. Find your inner eye – the lens that seems to match the perspective through which you see the world – for me it is about 90mm.
2. Take pictures for yourself first and be super self-critical.
3. Practice in the garden.
