Back at last - so... follo me follo me right now! Apologies to anyone who follows me who may have wondered why I haven't posted for a while. I've not been getting out much lately but am now getting around again. These are my first new posts in more than a year: C.O.R.E. - This will still be my mantra. Composition is the one part of image making that sets apart a photograph from a snapshot. Digital Photo magazine, April 2016 has succinctly put my lifetime's feelings about my hobby into one, neat article on composition: CORE stands for Content,Orientation, Rules & Enhancement - almost everything you need to know about the subject. The other thing of course is; Being there!

My hobby is photography. I also like cameras & watches. I only shoot jpegs & adopt similar methods to when I shot slides.Post processing is mostly restricted to subtle sharpening, contrast & colour adjustments with cropping, if needed -though I do occasional in - camera edits with cameras that allow it. I shoot mostly Landscapes these days but I'm trying to make myself mix it up more to avoid getting stuck in a rut. I prefer not to use a tripod but will if I have to. I thank everyone for their views & comments & wish everyone ""Happy & successful picturemaking!"
