Welcome

I trust that you will enjoy your visit to this, my website, my passion for photography stretches back a lot of years. When I first became interested in photography only analogue (film) photography was available. I became a convert to digital photography twenty years ago with a very small compact camera an Olympus c900z. I have now progressed to a full frame Nikon D750 digital single lens reflex camera. There are also galleries of my wife Angela’s images. She has been a passionate photographer and image maker for many years. She prefers creating composite images and is a highly skilled user of Adobe Photoshop. Angela uses a full frame Nikon D750 digital single lens reflex camera.

About

I have been a photographer for many years, more recently taking my photography to a different level: a pleasantly obsessive pursuit where my eye for detail and image enhancement is a benchmark in my pursuit of excellence. I have cultivated the art of photography to follow the same rules of engagement - care and attention, an appreciation of shape and form, an understanding of the tools of the trade, and patience, infinite patience. Setting up the shot is not a hurried moment, gauging the essence of light is a calculation, using technical experience to wring the best from my camera is critical. I am currently using a Nikon D750 full frame DSLR camera. Always carrying a camera and capturing a moment is preferable to the pangs of regret when an opportunity is missed, the camera left at home. For me, photography is not so much an interest, as a way of life. Manipulating the photographs using the complexities of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom software is time- consuming, however the finished result is very satisfying. Creative image making is currently of great interest, though my subject scope is infinite. I am in awe of some of the fantastic architecture that this country has to offer. People fascinate me too, catching a fleeting expression that speaks volumes, whether in a studio or real location, is the pinnacle that makes a winning photograph. My talent has been recognised by no less bodies than the Royal Photographic Society (RPS), of which I am currently a Licentiate member, the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain, by whom I was awarded a Credit Certificate (CPAGB) and the British Photographic Exhibitions (BPE) from whom I have achieved the BPE Three Crown Award (BPE3*). I was privileged to have two of my prints selected by the London Salon of Photography for their 2014 International Exhibition. Founder member of the DARC Technology Club and previously spent many years as an Adobe Photoshop tutor in the Derbyshire Adult Education Programme. I am a member of a local camera club and a former member of Rolls Royce (Derby) Photographic Society. .
