Wirral Globe Camera Club member Nicola Jayne Johnson When and why did you take up photography? I started taking photos on my phone when out on long walks with my beagles. Then just before lockdown, my boyfriend bought me a Nikon b500 camera and I absolutely fell in love with pictures through a camera. I suffer with my mental health at times - anxiety and depression - and this clears my headspace.
It has helped me so much. Colourful skies at Leasowe bay What do you love about taking pictures? I love nature - things that you spot that you may never see again. It makes you stop, when out walking, and take in the natural beauty that can often be unseen.
I love the joy it brings to others too when I share my photos on social media.

I would have to say the beach. Leasowe Bay and West Kirby being two of my favourite places to go.
I love how .
