People and nature https://journals.worldnomads.com/cmcgill/ Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:22:41 GMT World Nomads Adventures My passion for photography began the first time I saw my parents with a camera. From that point on my interest grew. My cameras changed over the years from 110mm to a 36mm SLR format. When I learnt how to change the ISO settings to enhance a photograph, things really took off. During my 8 year service in the British Army, I photographed my experiences in an attempt to document my time on operational tour, e.g. in Afghanistan and my time completing a charity cycle from Bosnia to Wales. It wasn't until I left the Army that I realised how to fully make use of the features of my camera. It is only now I realise the depth of knowledge required, and feel the opportunity you are willing to provide will greatly enhance my development and skill behind the lens. I also love to travel. I have travelled around Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I am an active individual and not shy when it comes to a challenge. I like to immerse myself fully into the task at hand. I am confident, hardworking and passionate. With the help of the National Geographic Society I’m eager to further develop my skills, knowledge and creativity in order to develop my future prospects as a photographer. https://journals.worldnomads.com/cmcgill/photos/38101/New-Zealand/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel New Zealand cmcgill https://journals.worldnomads.com/cmcgill/photos/38101/New-Zealand/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/cmcgill/photos/38101/New-Zealand/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sat, 12 Jan 2013 11:33:00 GMT 0
