I have been taking photographs since I was about 10 years old (and that was quite a few years ago now!), and was inspired by my grandfather's interest in photography.
For the last 15+ years my photography has concentrated around taking photographs of the towns and villages in Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire with the view to covering buildings of interest to family historians in this country and abroad, such as churches, pubs and general views (genealogy being another of my hobbies).
In recent years I have spent a lot of time on the beautiful Isle of Wight and have been taking many photographs of the island itself, yachts, ships, boats and the world famous events that take place there.
My past cameras include:
Zenith EM (35mm SLR)
Olympus OM10 (35mm SLR)
Canon EOS 50E (35mm SLR)
Canon EOS 10D (DSLR)
My current camera is a Canon EOS 50D (DSLR)
