Drag to set position!
I'm just your average kinda guy that seems to land up at some very interesting projects. Previously it was at the Southern African Large Telescope, but these days I work at Optimal Energy on the Joule Battery Electric Vehicle. Though these days it does mean that I get very little time for anything but some family happy snaps. I have two boys and a lovely wife and though I long for my BMW 650 Dakar I ride a Kymco 250cc scooter these days.
My favourite camera? Well I've only owned 4 serious cameras - the Nikon N80, F100 (x2) and FE2. I currently have the F100 and FE2, but I'd be hard pressed to choose between the two, though the F100 is definitely best for action. I also recently acquired one "non-serious" camera a Lomo LC-A. My only digital is a decent point and shoot - the Canon SX100iS.
General photographic principles? Not many really except trying to improve my photography as much as I can. One thing I stick to is pretty much not mucking about with post-processing. What I scan in is what you get, except for a bit of cropping here and there. At most I will remove dust and artificial things like that but the colour and exposure I (mostly) keep as is.
Take a look at this set and this set to find out more about the style of photos I like. Here's a thumbnail list of all my photos sorted by date.
... and I believe in Ducks and Plasma People, but if you want to know more it'll cost you... at least a bit of sanity.
