About

I live in Northamptonshire with my wife Mary and two cats Pickle and Pip.

We have a son Laurence (Loz) who annoys us with his ability to play almost any musical instrument with strings on. He is currently at Trinity College of Music in London studying for a Jazz Degree on double and electric bass.

I like hill walking and mountain biking, hence the dominance of landscape photographs.

For anyone interested in the equipment I use,
I use a Nikon FM2n with a favourite 35mm f1.4 lens which rarely comes off the camera.
A Nikon D90 with the equivalent of a 35mm lens and a short telephoto.

The St Kilda pictures were taken on a Bronica SQA which I owned several years ago.

The more recent square or squarish photos that have quite severe blurring at the corners and edges and general lack of sharpness (e.g. Howley Wood, Bletchley Park) are taken on a Holga plastic toy camera costing about £15.00. It leaks light, aperture and shutter speed control is virtually non-existent, focus is hit or miss and you are never really sure what you are going to get. Brilliant!!
