Photography Skills

• I have been taking photographs for almost all of my adult life (over 30 years).
• I started off in my late teens using a small Kodak Instamatic cassette camera and progressed to an Olympus OM10 35mmSLR back in the days when the only medium you could use was film.
• I currently use a Canon EOS 50D camera and I tend not to specialise in any form of photography;
• I take pictures of what I think will look good and what appeals to me; luckily it coincides with what most people like.
• It is the appreciative comments of my family and many friends that has prompted me to show you my photographs on the world wide web.
• One of my aims is to take a photograph “as it is” and not to rely on digital manipulation as seems to be the fashion these days.
• Almost all of these photographs have only had the contrast changed and the softness removed by sharpening. (photographs that come out of a digital camera are slightly soft on the edges)
