About
I Have been a keen Photographer for many years, I started out at about 12 years old when my mother bought me a 110 film cartridge camera which I loved but after some time I found its limitations, that's when my grandad stepped in and loaned me his old 1950's Kodak Sterling 2 camera, which was fully manual so I had complete control over the exposure. He gave me some lessons on understanding shutter speeds and apertures and away I went.
Over the Years I have used many different SLR camera systems from 35mm to 6x7cm. I now use Canon Digital SLR cameras which I find to be both reliable and of very high quality.
I prefer to keep my photography as close to reality as possible and try to get the image right on camera, a habit from my film camera days, and I use very minimal digital manipulation only to tweak the colours and stitch panoramic images. I use polarizing and neutral density filters when needed to make my images as close to how I see them. I tend to do most of my photography like most photographers in the golden hours 2 hours after sunrise and 2 before sunset as these are the times when the light is at its best.
Most of my photography is done near to where i live in the North East of England which is central to some of the most spectacular parts of Britain.
I hope you like what you see. All my images are available as prints or as licenced use. If you are interested please contact me for details. Thanks, Colin.
