Semi-retired IT professional with a passion for railway subjects motor sport and landscapes.

I have a growing collection of cameras, mostly Canons. my main camera is now a 40D althiugh this is being replaced by a 60D when I have completed some current courses and work. A Canon G is also never far from my side.

I have a range of lenses from Sigma and Tamron plus a few Canon zooms and a 50mm prime lens for macro and portraits.

Love to play with effects and enjoy most aspects of HDR and mainly using the Oloneo and Artizen to process them. I tend to use PaintShop Pro Photo Pro for other creative effects (sometimes with the excellent Topaz add-on) and all are usually finalised for Flickr in Picasa 3 which is so simple to use, but produces great results.

Currently (January 2013) taking some enforced time away from the camera while a few problems are resolved and I try and complete a photo course. Hopefully be back and active soon, meanwhile I enjoy looking through my streams.
