Non-commercial photographer from Melbourne, Australia

 

I don't add any subjects into my images, and only occasionally will I clone distracting small sections out.

 

I try to get the image as I want it in the camera as I do not enjoy spending more than 15 minutes post-processing an image. I prefer to represent reality and my memories of it whether it be realistic or abstracted.

 

The post-processing, if any, is generally restricted to tones, contrast, white balance, sometimes a little cropping and sharpening.

 

I don't really care which brand camera or lens is used but I usually state them on here and have created sets to help those looking to see what each lens can do.

Although I have many lenses, I usually only take 2-3 lenses with me at a time, and this forces me to look for imagery which suits the lens on the camera - usually a fixed focus lens unless I am travelling the world.

Finally, I have trawled Flickr looking for what I consider are among the best minimally manipulated photos and have added them to my galleries - enjoy.
