I have a collection of over 30,000 photos that I have taken since I started, of which I would say only a very very few will ever be posted!

 

My photos are mostly as is, there is some photoshop used, and I do occasionally crop, brighten or darken photos. Once or twice in the stream I have used B&W or infrared but this is done in the camera. I do use my own favourite camera settings for sunsets to get the best effects though.

 

I use another account on Flickr to archive my other photos this can be found under black.dalek. These are usually not tagged and I don't use groups for this account.

 

Add me as a contact if you want, but don't expect me to reciprocate if you have hundreds or thousands of other contacts!

 

Do not use my photos without permission, ask first!

 

Some of my photos have been use in magazines and on other websites, (with my permission), usually I will just ask for a copy of the publication, but that depends on what it is.
