Jonathan Wragg, from Huddersfield, began taking pictures as a hobby during a difficult time in his life.

He said: " I took up walking last year after a suggestion by my GP to give it a go when I said I didn't want to end up back on medication during a bad bout of depression.

"I quickly found out that walking helped but I was taking twice as long during my walks because every few yards my mobile
was out of my pocket and I was taking snaps of everything from a leaf, ducks on the canal, old rusty country gates to shots of the beautiful landscape we are fortunate enough to have surrounding us here, so a three hour walk along the canal to Marsden would take six.

"My mum Jackie always said I had a natural talent for photography but I used to think that it was just one of those things mums say. Sadly we lost her to cancer in March and after that awful experience, I decided to take my photography more seriously and set up a Twitter account, Facebook page and website to show my photographs.

"I've now moved from using my camera phone and use a Canon 600d DSLR camera and my walks have got a lot more adventurous. I love walking off the beaten track and discovering new views.

"I am also now a member of the Ramblers Association and I was interviewed about using walking to fight depression for the online edition of their magazine. Since the article was published, I have received nothing but praise for being fully open about my illness and the article has even been described as inspirational which I'm trying hard to take in.
