Fiona kent-Ledger's photostream

Not a proffesional photographer - I take pictures of almost anything and everything - Currently I have two main digital cameras a Pentax K10d and a Panasonic t something 3 I 'm not sure of this and will have to find out - my trusty back up is a SONY CYBER SHOT with which I am amazed at what it can take.I did study photography at college way back in the dark non digital age and am only just coming to terms with the digital media, so an awful lot of trial and error is involved.
I try to only use my adobe software as I would a normal dark room, keeping it to a minimum. There was a point where i was totaly dejected when looking at the many stunning photographs out there till it dawned on me just what an influence photo shop is having on some peoples photography and how over worked some images can be - I wouldn't say I am a pureist but I prefer to see what the photographer saw not what they think we want to see. hope that makes sense
I am happy for my photos to be used, but only if I am asked first - If I get paid for them then even better. But I do ask that they are not just copied or taken from my stream or file please please ask me first
Always happy for comments and ideas - Not to boost ratings just because I really like to know what people think - I'm always looking on flickr so I will comment back given the chance
