A quick look into how i started into photography and where im at now.


Like most people it started with a point and shoot then one with better zoom, but eventually i got a bridge camera Fugifilm hs10 30x zoom tilting screen it looked cool and i thought it was the bees knees.


This is one of the first shots i took that i really loved, it was the first time id really thought it out and got what i wanted, yet at this time i had no processing skills i didnt even have any processing software on my pc.


HDR was the thing that first got me processing shots, at the time i thought it was so cool this was one of my first shots to get comments and fav's on Flickr.

It was at this time i started uploading more on to Flickr and quickly i found out the camera wasnt up to the standard of most, i had a good eye for a shot yet the images lacked sharpness and detail and noise how i hated noise. So i started looking into DSLR's and quickly found out that the bigger sensors gave much better image quality and less noise.......... that was it i had to get a DSLR............


My first DSLR was an Olympus e450 again i thought it was the bees knees and for a while it was it made my image quality improve it was crisp and sharp and not as noisy. The first thing i did was start to learn apature and DoF and play around with shutter speeds.


This was the first long exposure shot that i really liked it started a small obsession with LE.

The Sheep house.

This shot was one of the first to really get a large amount of good feedback and is one of the few shots i have printed and on my wall at home, yet it shows signs of my lack of experience the house should be more the left and i still had little processing know how or id have gotten rid of the posts in the foreground.

The Olympus lasted a year until i felt the need to upgrade again, i was looking at Nikon as my next move yet i couldnt justify going too high up the range and opted for the Nikon D3100 id seen some brilliant shots taken with it on Flickr and all the reviews said it was the best entry level DSLR going. 

Thats where i am now with the D3100 and my future posts will be the work ive been producing with it and the different processing skills ive built up along the way.
