I'm primarily interested in landscape photography and in particular looking at how different lights can bring to life the countryside around where I live in Hertfordshire. 

I started to take photos during my teenage years, during which time I became interested in the whole development and printing cycle. However like many others I drifted away until the advent of digital.

In 2007 I acquired a Nikon D40 and joined an OU Digital Photography short course my photography took off again. Nikons were always been cameras that I aspired to and I currently have a Nikon D90

In Jan 2010 I was awarded a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society with this panel and I keep an active blog.

I'm currently working on an ARPS panel

 

 

I started to take photos during my teenage years, during which time I became interested in the whole development and printing cycle.
I experimented with pinhole and Kodak box cameras before buying the cheapest SLR I could find a Russian Zenit E.

At that time I was doing all my own black and white developing an printing either in the school darkroom or at home. I even had a Zenit Enlarger.
However like many others I drifted away until the advent of digital (a ‘darkroom’ that didn’t smell, add extra dust ‘texture’ to my images, or monopolise the bathroom).
In 2007 I acquired a Nikon D40 and joined an OU Digital Photography short course my photography took off again. Nikons were always been cameras that I aspired to and I currently have a Nikon D90
Photographs have always appealed strongly to me and the creation of ones that also appeals to others is a very satisfying result. I particularly like landscape photography and seeing the countryside in great light, but I also have interest in sports photography.
In Jan 2010 I was awarded a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society for this panel of photographs.
I think coastal scenes are some of my favourites which is difficult living in the middle of the country, but the more photography I do the more I realise it’s just the light that makes the shot
