To celebrate my daughter Alice's birth in 1999 I bought a camcorder which was able to take stills - and I was officially "digital". This album charts the growth of our family from this point on: the holidays, the events, the memories....even the cats have their place!
I'm based in the UK, just outside the New Forest in a village called Downton. Most of my images are therefore from the Wilts/Hants/Dorset area. I love going across to France, so there are a fair few images from there also, especially the northern coast. But my camera generally travels with me, so wherever I lay my hat...
My main camera is a (quite old now) Nikon D200, a brilliant piece of kit which is far more responsible for decent shots than I am. My general purpose lens is a Nikkor 18-200mm DX (superb), also have a Tamron 200-500mm zoom and a Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye.
I also like to carry a compact camera, just in case I see something interesting. If Nikon did such a decent camera, I'd probably use it. But they don't, so I shoot with a Canon Powershot G10. Very impressive functionality and results, if somewhat fiddly to use.
Most everything here has been Geotagged - on the D200 I have a nifty gizmo by Solmeta which tags images as I capture them. For other shots, and to generally mess around with EXIF data, I use an excellent freeware program called Geosetter.
In the early days I just published what I shot, and looking back at some of the photographs makes me cringe. However in 2006 I started to make an effort at post-processing things, so hopefully it is possible to see some improvement over time. Nowadays I use a brilliant tool called Bibble. At Christmas 2009 I got myself Photomatix, and keep meaning to do a little more HDR work going forward.
