Just another one of those 'keen amateur' blokes you see wandering around gazing at things, with more keen than anything else.
I live in London, UK, and am learning more about photography every day. The shutter-bug has bitten me hard...
When not incessantly snapping, I'm a musician, playing drums, guitar or anything else I can lay my hands on in a London-based post-rock/experimental band called SonVer. We'll be pottering around the UK and bits of Europe this summer - come along, say hello!
All my HDR stuff is shot hand-held (mostly due to the absence of a tripod that doesn't fall over...and London security guards...)
My most interesting shots...
For the camera geeks out there, or those who just like to know:
Nikon D700
Nikon F100 - I'm falling in love.
Nikon CoolpixS52C - for pointing and shooting.
AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 G
AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D (tiny, cheap, brilliant, better than any f/2.8 zoom at 50mm)
AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 D
AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 G ED
AF-D 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 D ED
AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 G ED...being fixed!
AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 D ED

"I find it hard to believe that I am the first to write a testimonial for Al?! Al is an outstanding photographer. I am a big fan, and particularly love his HDR work, which is always an inspiration and technically brilliant. With quality assured in every shot, coupled with an eclectic range of subjects, his photostream is not to be missed and is guaranteed not to disappoint."
