About me
I have been taking photo's for many years. Occasionally I get a few keepers.
My main interest is portraiture, both in colour and B&W.
Most of my time is spent on a computer where much of the time I am working with Photoshop. Trying to teach myself the many manipulations and effects that may be achieved. Not an easy task when ones brain box isn't very retentive :-)
I use mainly Nikon camera's of which I have,
2 x Nikon F5's
1 x Nikon Coolpix 990
1 x Nikon D100
1 x Nikon D200
Lenses too many to list here.
A Mamiya RZ 67 complete with 4 lenses
Two film backs and penta prism.
The film camera's are very seldom used these days now that digital is so convenient and comparitively cheap. Digital allows one to see the results straight away.
I don't do much photographically but enjoy browsing the many photo sites and making comment on other peoples pictures and where I am able , try to make improvement on them in an editor.
