Hi, Welcome to my photo collection.

My name is Steve Houghton, "fourwings" to my online friends and I have had a lifelong interest in natural history. I began taking wildlife photos over 20 years ago using 35mm SLR's but the cost of having images developed always prevented me from making it a major hobby. After I joined the Digital photography revolution in 2002 and a casual pastime became a major obsession!

Insect photography is my main interest but I'll have a go at photographing anything wild that walks,flys,crawls or grows in front of me. Most of my images are taken in my home county of Leicestershire, but I do travel to other areas of the country in search of specific species that I want to see and photograph. I have always had an ethical approach to wildlife photography and will not cause disturbance to anything just to get its photograph.

I hope you enjoy browsing through my images and i'm always open to constructive comments on them.

Hi Steve,
Wow what great images! The design of your site is also user friendly well done.
I have just started my own site www.wildaboutwildlife.co.uk and whilst look for inspiration I found your site.
I have to upload a lot of images to my site over the next week or so, but I hope it looks ok in the end.
If you could give we any feedback on my site via the guest book I would be grateful and maybe one day you could add my site to your list of recomended site and I can do the same?
