My current camera of choice is a Fuji Finepix S5600. Getting to the point where I want to upgrade but the financial side of things doesn't allow that.

All pics are processed using Adobe Photoshop. I try to keep this to a minimum, seeing as I learnt in a darkroom (remember those?) and hate how easy it is to click a button and have hours of work replaced in a second, with no knowledge of what you've just done. (That's my perfectionist coming out.)

Most pics are sharpened, cropped, levels adjusted and light levels dodge/burned - the majority of which I would have done if I was in the darkroom with said picture. As of Sept 2011 I realise how much other little edits are coming in, and so from now on will make a note of what I've done. If something is heavily photoshoped then I'm getting into the habit of explaining what I've done. Most of the time. (I'm also forgetful).

I'm slowly building up a personally created stock of brushes/textures to use although in many of the pictures the brush sets that I've used have been from BittBox (www.bittbox.com/category/freebies) or DieheArt (dieheart.deviantart.com/gallery/).

Note: If you would like to use any of the photographs in my photostream then please get in touch and I'll more than likely be happy to oblige (and provide you with a much larger, better resolution image). Please don't just steal them, a lot of time and work (and tea) has gone into their creation.
