Now I don't know about you but I just love quality photography. Photographs are a snap shot of life captured forever to be shared with
anyone and everyone. Those snap shots are only true from the point they were taken, by the eye through the veiw finder at the precise
point in time they were taken - an instant sooner or later and the view would be different.
I am a firm believer that you cannot have too many cameras with you at any one time, especially when travelling abroad to places you are not likely to return to such as our trip to China. For that trip we had 2x Samsung Galaxy S2 mobile phones, a Canon Ixus 110, a Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR and a Panasonic DMC-FZ150. Using that combination we knocked off just over of 1,300 pictures, some of which are hooked into this web site. Since getting into digital photography we have also used a Kodak C913, a Panasonic DMC-FX01 and a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5. Those are the ones I remember because we have had a few more that I don't. The 2 Samsung S2 mobiles have now been replaced with a Samsung Compact and Motorola Moto G 4G. The beauty of digital cameras is that you can stick in a big memory card, make sure the battery is fully charged, frame your shots and just keep pressing the button. That way you are sure to capture that moment in time for posterity with improved chances of getting good clear picture. If you get some duds, delete them but you might just be surprised - some of my best photographs have technically been duds but the actual picture was nothing short of fabulous. When I first got into SLR photography I used to carry a minimum of 6 rolls of 72 frame 35mm film, and the changes of the dud being a classic was far greater than it is today with the complexity now built into digital cameras, but I still prefer the newer cameras. My first SLR was a Miranda - a Dixons 'own brand' - which punched well above it's weight in the world of SLR cameras. That was stolen from the boot of my car in Walsall and with the insurance payout I got a Canon EOS 10 and a number of Tamron lenses which all went into a largish camera bag that went everywhere we went (I still have it but it doesn't see light of day very often). Today's digital cameras are often small enough to fit in a jacket pocket and much less obvious to the nefarious in the community who would seek to make off with it to save them working for a living. I enjoy photography as an amateur hobby but my efforts mean that I fully appreciate really excellent photography, and that is what you will find here...
