CAGW (internet
problems)'s photostream
|
I have lived in Central London for most of my life. Having quit my career as a Science and Chemistry A-level teacher after 18 years in July 2008, I've been using my extra free time doing a variety of different arts related courses at Adult College including singing, stone carving, pottery, self-portrait techniques and of course photography.
My interest in taking up photography as a hobby started in Nov 2006 when I purchased my first digital camera (Panasonic Lumix). and then my first DSLR camera (Canon 40D) in January 2009. I routinely use Photoshop CS3 and Photomatix Pro in processing my images.
My camera equipment:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01
Mini Gorillapod
Canon EOS 40D DSLR
Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens (reliable - all-rounder but does vignette)
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 mark II lens (good value - mainly portraits)
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM lens (equal fave - mainly wildlife, portraits)
Sigma 10-20mm f/4.0-5.6 EX DC HSM lens (equal fave - mainly architecture, tight angles)
Cokin ND2, ND4 and ND8 filters
Hoya Pro Digital UV filters
Hoya Pro Digital Polarizing filters
B+W ND110 (1000X) filter
Hahnel Wireless Pro Remote Control
SLR Zoom Gorillapod
Calumet Tripod (heavy but effective)

"Para mi las fotografías de Conrad son sencillas, directas, naturales... y gracias a ellas podemos conocer los lugares en los que vive, viaja, etc. Me gustan mucho sus fotografías nocturnas, donde logra sacar unos dorados impresionantes y los cuales envidio. Gracias a esta comunidad de Flickr estoy conociendo el trabajo tan increíble de gente como Conrad."

"Here is a phenomenal photographer/artist with his beautiful photo
scenes.....a great many of them about LOndon, UK where he lives.
Conrad is a loyal friend who always makes time to visit you. In particular I just have to say that his night shots are just pucker and they look professional which makes me deduct that he takes great care about detail and effect.
He is an ex teacher and is currently about to take on Photoshop tuition as well as doing classes in some Crafts : so watch out for some knockout stuff from this talented Flickrite. You will like his London landmarks shots, which I think are among the best I've ever seen and, as I used to live there myself....they make me feel nostalgic !
Bravo Conrad, I love your stream !! Keep them coming !"2nd February, 2009
