I have listed photography as a hobby of mine for the last 30 years, but it is only the discovery of HDR in 2008 that really got me back into it in a big way.
I love the oportunity HDR gives me to overcome the inherent limitations of the technology. It has completely changed the way I look at things and try to capture them.
My favorite subject matter is landscapes and I try to represent the scene in a natural style usually - however, I have been known to go over the top in Post Processing on occasion ;-). I recently modified my venerable D70 for Infra-Red work and I have been using it to experiement with false colour and monochrome, which looks awsome!
Please feel free to critique my work as you see fit (preferably constructively but I'm a big boy), whilst having several pages of "nice picture" or "great capture" etc. etc. is good for the ego it does nothing for my progress as a photographer. Useful critique will be most welcome and I will reciprocate if I feel I can add anything your work.
For the gear junkies amongst us I use the following,
Nikon D300 Body
Nikon D70 Body - converted By myself for IR
Tamron 10-24mm
Nikon 50mmF1.8
Nikon 18-105mmVR
Nikon 70-300mm
Nikon SB600
Photomatix
GIMP
I am rather humbled by the number of people that have added me as a contact and watch my work on a regular basis now. Unfortunately there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to reciprocate with all of you so I started the Simply Outstanding Work group as way to say thank you and for myself and others to appreciate your best work. I certainly see everything that is submitted to the moderation queue and I try and comment on everything that gets accepted. I also try and maintain my Galleries so please take a look if you have time.
I have offered a few select images for purchase on Redbubble via the link below. If however there is a specific image you would but it is not there please Flickrmail me.
Happy snapping and thanks for dropping by.
Martin

"Martin's help and guidance through some technical aspects of photography that he gave to me when I joined Flickr, has been invaluable in giving me the tools and confidence to work on developing my own style of photography.

"Martin has been such a good friend here on FLickr, always making sure to check out my photostream. His photos have inspired me in so many ways, especially in my night photography. His compositions and ability to capture light even in the most difficult situations is out of this world."
