I have had an interest in photography for a long time. I used borrowed SLRs and much later digital point & shot cameras. I am new to DSLRs and Photoshop.

Interested in landscapes, travel, HDR and developing my art. In truth I am a student of Eclecticism and a Synthesists. I take the moment that I have, be it landscape, floral, architectural... and I use all of my knowledge and skill to create the image but it is a work in progress.

I like HDR because that is how I see the world, I used to be disappointed when I had photographed a scene full of vibrant colours and tones, then the prints would be flat. A colleague told me about HDR, I was instantly hooked. Within days I was using the CHDK on my Canon IXUS 960 to make HDR images and even a very basic HDR movie of a sunset.

Art is art and is open to interpretation. The creator intends meaning. The viewer has their experiences/schemas which adds another dimension to the narrative and in turn they create their own meaning. The two may not agree, but each is true in its own context.

I am a teacher and for professional reasons I will not comment of any contact's pictures of children. Some of my students may frequent my photostream, so please use appropriate language so they can enjoy Flickr as well.
