Based in West Yorkshire but from the South Coast originally. I generally use a Canon EOS 450D camera and don't use photoshop, partly because I don't have it but mainly because I don't want to manipulate what I've seen to any great degree. Just a bit of cropping perhaps and a boost to contrasts. Having said that I have experimented with HDR, which I quite like, but to me HDR is so obvious no-one is ever going to be taken in by it, as they would be if you changed your sky or added in a flock of birds where there wasn't one! I want to shoot what I see. :-)
