Now over seventy years of age and retired I can spend much more time on my photography. I started taking pictures in black and white days, progressed onto colour slides and then entered the digital era over ten years ago. I use Canon cameras mostly though I do have a little 'Point and Shoot' Leica in my pocket at all times. A large number of my photos on this site derive from scanned transparencies. For film photography I used mostly Olympus OM1 and OM2 equipment teamed with Kodachrome 64, Kodachrome25 and Fuji 100 emulsions. Such a shame that these films are no longer available.

Mostly I take transport subjects but not always. I like the great outdoors and a camera always comes out with me.

Please enjoy my FLICKR site and feel free to leave evidence of your visit in the form of comments or favourites. Please remember that I own the copyright of all the photos on my FLICKR site so kindly ask before using any elsewhere.

Thank you. Michael J. Collins.
