My name is John Leary and I live in the United Kingdom. The images in this John Leary Photography web site are a selection of those captured over the years with the use of a range of different cameras including 35mm film, Advance Photographic System (APS) cameras together with 35mm DSLR and 35mm digital Mirrorless cameras.

My main photographic interest over most of my life has been ships photography. I have always been fascinated by anything that floats particularly on the sea. Possibly this stems from the time in my early working life when I was a Radio Officer in the British Merchant Navy. Over the years, I have also captured images of buildings, animals, birds, aircraft and people. Additionally I have dipped my toes into the World of macro photography. The purpose of this web site is to display a small number of these non ship images. I am long retired from my professional career as a consulting telecommunications engineer. In place of work, photography has become my main pre-occupation. I would describe myself as a photographic enthusiast with a desire to capture the perfect image (if only!).
