i've been taking photographs since i was a small child, always fascinated
by what
would come back from the developers.
this love of photography was brought to life by my grandfather who collected
cameras, but did was not really interested in photography. nonetheless
this
exposed me to photographic equipment at a young age.
i started properly with my first SLR CAMERA IN 1996, MY FIRST YEAR OF
HIGH SCHOOL,
A CANON, I FORGET WHICH MODEL EXACTLY. BUT IT WAS PROFESSIONAL, WITH LOTS
OF DIFFERENT
LENSES AVAILABLE, 4X ZOOM AND APERTURE CONTROL, ITS ALL I NEEDED, I WAS
HOOKED.
i bought my first digital camera in 1999, IT WASNT VERY GOOD AND WAS
BASICALLY ONLY
USED THE SAME AS A 35MM, TAKING QUICK SNAPS OF FRIENDS ETC. THIS WAS MY
LOWEST
TIME. I HADNT TAKEN A REALLY ARTISTIC PICTURE IN OVER A YEAR.
IN 2000 I STARTED MY gcse year at school, naturally, since the option
was there,
i took a course in photography, learned how to develop my films on my
own
which i previously couldnt do. and sailed through the course.
since i had so much expierience with slr's, i decided to use digital cameras
for most of my coursework (it was 100% coursework based). this was used
to
great effect with my knowledge of computer manipulation packages such
as
photoshop and paintshop pro.
i ended up with an A* AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
SINCE THEN, I HAVE BOUGHT MYSELF AN EXTREMELY NICE NEW DIGITAL CAMERA,
AND
THAT IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO MAKE THIS SITE.
ABOVE IS THE CAMERA I USE AT THE MOMENT, THE Canon EOS 20D.
I HAVE ALL THE ADDONS AVAILABLE, NATURALLY :)
TELEPHOTO LENS, WIDE ANGLE LENS AND MANY FILTERS.
I LOVE TO EXPLORE AND FIND NEW PLACES TO PHOTOGRAPH, I DONT LIKE TO STAY
IN ONE PLACE EVERYTIME I GO OUT. SUNDAY IS MY FAVOURITE DAY TO GO OUT.
I FEEL SO FREE.
