About my photography

I became interested in digital photography when I bought my first computer in 1998. The camera was part of the package, since then I haven't looked back! The camera was an Agfa and it was one of the first digital cameras. Looking back at the photos now they look really poor quality but it was a fun introduction to digital imaging, image manipulation and computers.

I bought a better quality camera a little while later, when I realised the fun that could be gained from taking photos and being able to process them in minutes and send them by email within minutes of taking them. Having checked out the specs at the time I bought an Olympus 2.1 megapixel camera, which has served me well and I was pleased with the quality of the photos.

I upgraded to my first Digital SLR, a Canon 300D which allowed me to become more creative.

I now own a Canon 400D SLR digital with an ever expanding list of lenses and accessories. I am now enjoying taking photos and my camera goes where I go. I am always looking for suitable subjects for images but the ones I most enjoy taking are landscapes particularly in the mornings and evenings plus animals and nature in general.

Learning Photography

I recently took the new short course (12 weeks) with the Open University T189 igital Photography: Creating and Sharing Better Images which introduced many new things from using my camera and taking better pictures and sharing them with other students on the course, to the final portfolio which was the end of course assignment. If you are like me and interested in digital photography and would like to improve your knowledge this is a great course.

Photo Gallery

I am working on a new gallery at the moment on my website and I am going to upload my favourite pictures as well as my pictures on my flickr pages.

At the moment the gallery is work in progress!
