About and Contact

This is my photography blog, which also has some development articles and reviews of some of the items I’ve bought over the last 10 or so years.

I’m a software developer by profession, but I’ve been taking pictures since I was about 8 years old. In that time I’ve owned cameras of all types and sizes from 120 roll film thro’ 35 mm SLRs to my current somewhat excessive collection of Pentax K-5, Ricoh GXR + P10/S10/A12 28 mm/A12 50 mm, Canon S95, Sony NEX 6 and Fuji XT1.

I also have a growing collection of vintage film cameras which I’m starting to use more and more and some interesting vintage lenses.

My main subjects are landscapes, family and macro pictures. I always shoot in raw and use Lightroom to post process my digital shots. Although I will often add noise reduction, sharpening and boost colours etc, I don’t like overly ‘processed’ pictures.

As well as photography I’m interested in all things technology related, I used to work in electronic engineering and occasionally have semi-serious attempts to learn the piano. Oh, and I have a guitar.

Any comments about pictures I’ve taken gratefully received.
