Running in Suffolk's photostream  

I have always enjoyed photography. If you wish to add me as a contact I will do the same and make every effort to visit your photostream on a regular basis.

I would say I am very much a beginner and will probably never learn half the tricks of a camera.

The first cameras I used were my fathers. He was keen on Nikon as a make and so I used a Nikon Fm and Em SLR back in the days of film in the late 1970's and 1980's. Many of these photos I have now uploaded after scanning.

I have never been so interested in the technical , clever whizz bang tricks of photography. For me it is more important to have a camera with me to capture the events around me rather than produce a photoshop HD masterpiece.

So you will see quantity rather than quality in my photos but hopefully some of these would pass the test of being considered a good photo.

As at December 2010 I have over 13,000 photos in 294 sets and 27 collections. So what can you expect to see if you take a look and stick around?

Themes include

Family
Street candids and photography

But there are many other subjects in the 294 sets!

Running

A lot of my photos are taken when I am out running. Yes might seem strange but I generally take a camera with me when I go for a jog and have done so for about 5 years. Initially I was using a Fuji Finepix A345 a decent 4mp camera. The main requirement when running is to have a lightweight camera.I replaced this after wear and tear with a a Casio Exilim EXZ70 which was lighter still and slim - just great for running. A 7mp camera.

One of my aims is to visit as much of Suffolk as I can whilst out running the county. Visit my sets and you will see that I have covered around 100 villages and towns in Suffolk to date.

Family

The family , friends and realtives set is one of the largest and most popular. Photos of family dating back to the 1930's. There are also many street candid photos.

Ipswich Town

I have had a season ticket at Ipswich Town for many years and regulalrly take a camera with me to games with out any problems except I don't take a digital SLR with me so I don't have a telescopic lens.

I have also included many photos of Ipswich Town Football Club and many of the races I have taken part in again mainly in Suffolk.

I have formed a number of flicker groups including

Dunwich
Ipswich
Keswick
1950's,
1960's
1970's groups
UK Running.
