Thanks to everyone stopping by and viewing my images, I very much appreciate the support.

I am a keen and enthusiastic photographer always looking for new ideas and compositions.

I started photography in the early 90's first using film camera's such as Minolta 7000 and processing black and white also colour film in a darkroom, then progressing to a high end Canon EOS 3.

Eventually progressing to Digital with a range of Nikon DSLR's, From now using the Nikon D850 and adding more equipment to my arsenal over time.

Also using a Galaxy S23 Ultra for images and for Geo Tagging images taken with both mobile and Nikon D850.

I started using Photoshop Elements 3 and then progressed through the updates till Photoshop 9 and used Photoshop CS2 - CS5 which was amazing.

Now using Photoshop and Lightroom Classic through the Adobe Cloud Photography bundle, also using a bunch of plugins like Nik software for black and whites through Silver Efex Pro 2 and Colour Efex Pro 4.

Starting to get more into my Photography again with the Nikon D850 which is an amazing camera coupled with amazing software with the Adobe bundle the sky's the limit as they say...

Embrace The Light.

Thank you...
