John J Buckley's photostream

Photography has been my passion for many years. My interest started at the tender age of 10 when I was bought my first camera by my parents (Olympus OM10). Since then, I have worked my way through many makes and formats of camera.
A few years ago I completed the City & Guilds in Photography Course (9231). Little did I realise the hard work involved, but after 3 years and many essays and portfolios later I’ve successfully completed the course, gaining distinctions in Landscape, Portrait, Still-Life, Close-up, Architectural and Black and White Photography.
On completing the course I sold all my film camera equipment and took the leap into the digital age (something I said I would never do!). Digital allows me to experiment far more, see the results immediately and make fine adjustments to get the right shot.
My real passion is Landscape Photography and I admire the work of Joe Cornish, David Ward, Paul Wakefield and David Noton. I was fortunate enough in 2004 to spend an inspirational week with Joe on a Landscape course in Inversnaid, Scotland.
I now suffer from landscapers back ... must use that tripod more!
Whilst still honing my landscape skills, my objective is to try and broaden my horizons once more and capture a wider range of subjects. I just need to get out more!
My current equipment is;
Canon EOS 5D MKII
Canon 50mm f1.4
Canon 17-40mm f4 L
Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II
Canon X2 Extender MK III
Gitzo 1127 Tripod with 1278M Ball Head
Collection of Lee Graduated ND Filters

Mark L Edwards says:
"I have known John for about three years. The first meeting was at the inaugural get-together for the Great Notley Photography Club www.gnpc.co.uk. Since that time I have enjoyed seeing John's images as they appear on his Flickr photostream. I have also benefited from his comments on my images.
John has a particular love for landscape photography which is self evident in his Flickr stream. An exponent of the more classical art of landscape photography who believes in good technique and a solid knowledge of his art. Unusually for a landscape photographer he particularly enjoys the portrait format for many of his images. John has an first class eye for composition that is evident in his carefully considered images and some of the subtlety you will see in his images.
I am in the process of encouraging and nagging him to take some of his skills and get involved in taking some more people pictures. I am confident that his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm will deliver some first class results in this genre as well.
I always eagerly anticipate John's photographs and look forward to seeing images on an even wider range of subjects in the future.
I also find that John is an ideal person to bounce ideas off and debate (over a pint) different aspects of photography to help further my own thinking."21st February, 2011
