deep blue2's photostream  

Starting taking pics 35+ years ago with an Olympus Trip, then moved up to 35mm SLR (Olympus OM20). Trained as a Police photographer using medium format (Pentax) SLR's. When photographing crime scenes 'artistic' composition wasn't really an issue (!) so now I'm enjoying seeing with a more artistic eye. Used to do a fair bit of B&W darkroom work. Now into digital (Nikon D300) and as a scuba diver, I have a particular interest in underwater photography.

I am also qualified as a regional photographic judge (WCPF).
In July 2010 I was awarded the Licentiate Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society.
