About B Tal / Brian Talbot

"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man."
Edward Steichen

Pixel-Pusher by day, amateur photographer by curiosity and FlickR enthusiast by the wee hours of the night.

Please feel free to leave any thoughts/comments/critiques on any of my images. I'd love to learn more about photography and the help of others is a major tool in that process. And if you have the itch, drop me a line about anything you see in my 'stream as well anything else I may be able to help out with.

I have snapped photos with the following equipment:
* Nikon D80
* Nikon D50
* Canon PowerShot SD100
* Canon PowerShot S45

I shoot with the following lenses for the Nikon D50:
* 28-90mm f-3.5-5.6 Lens
* 12-24mm f-4 Tamron Lens
* 18-70mm f-3.5-4.5 Nikkor Lens
* 50mm f-1.8 Nikkor Lens
* Lensbaby 3G
* 80-200mm F-2.8 Nikkor Lens
* 60mm f-2.8 NIkkor Macro Lens

Post Processing:
I use Adobe Photoshop to perform the ocassional dusting and cleaning of my photos, and have also experimented with several more extensive techniques on particular images.

I also use quotes alongside my photography. Quotes are something that I've always enjoyed and have vowed to gather, use and share. Pairing words with images seemed like a natural combination which adds more to both the written thoughts of an individual and the visual image captured by another.

I'm Male and Taken.
