Welcome to my World

Photography

As I said in About Me,  I have been interested in Photography from a very early age, setting up a darkroom of my own in a loft at the age of 15. For my 16th birthday, I asked for a kitchen sink! This I installed in the loft directly above the bathroom from which I plumbed in running water.  The darkroom I had started as a Paterson Darkroom Kit which over the next few years I expanded on.  The kit was for Black & White processing and printing which was great fun!  I then decided to turn my hand to colour processing, a mistake which probably led to it's eventual sale.  Colour processing was not cheap but I was glad I experienced it.

I've used many cameras, mainly compacts until then when my first SLR was a Zenith.  I quickly realised I wanted more and bought a Practika B100 Electronic and various lenses and accessories, including Cokin filters.  This was of course a film camera since the digital age was still a long way off.  Then came married life and a family.  I eventually traded in my SLR gear for a family snap-shooter, a compact film camera.  It wasn't until a good few years later I decided to look again at cameras and bought my first digital camera, a Sony Mavica which took 3.5" floppy disks as it's memory storage.  It was great camera which I eventually sold on eEay after a few years of use and bought a Traveller from Aldi.  This was a great 4.1Mp compact camera but I was soon hungry for more.  Thus followed the Fuji S602z and then the S9500, both with which many a competition winning photo was taken for various photography forums I was a member of.

Why not browse a few of my photos.  More will be added over time.
