I have now retired ,and last year started my Open University History degree.I have played with Photography for many years, but now I have the time I want to improve.Currently in addition to my studies of History I am doing T189 with the OU which is amongst other things teaching Photoshop Elements 6.

I am a Volunteer guide at Sir Richard Arkwright's Cromford Mill ,as I have a great interest in the Industrial Revolution.

A week ago I fractured my ankle ,which is a nuisance as I want to get out and about for my Open University T 189 course. I suppose I will have to concentrate on items in the house eg. my Grandchildrens toys and think outside of the box...ho hum!

Current equipment is;

Canon 40D

Canon 28-70 IS

Canon 24mm 2.8 lens

Canon 28-105 usm lens

Canon 100-300 usm lens

Sigma 28-300 dg

Various filters and Tripod.

( Plus anything I can get through the door without my wife finding out!)
