A very good day to you all.
Just a bit about me & Photography.
I have allways had a bit of aninterest in Photography, Iv never had any formal training or been a member of a club. I guess my interest was inspired by my late dad who was actualy pretty good, & I spent many magical moments as a kid in his dark room watching his images come to life. Pure magic I thought at the time I can still smell those chemicals.
He gave me his old zenith E a Russian made mechanical camera & then I watched my images come to life all black & white of course, oh how I loved that camera. When I started work at the tender age of 16 in a moment of madness I blew all my wages & some on an Olympus OM1 cos its what my dad had & survived on scrounged sandwiches off my workmates for the rest of the month, I was in digs training to be an engineer.
Since then I haven’t done much but dabbled here & there & taken some half decent shots, I now have my dads very old but perfect OM1 kit with 50mmf1.4, 28mm 100mm & 200mm motor wind , flash etc & a Nikon D90 with a couple of zooms Nikon speedlight tripod etc. So thought I would give it a go again now I have a bit more time on my hands. I just need a computer & photoshop to complete the circle. The latest addition to my kit is the flash this is a whole new learning curve as up until now Iv never owned one.
See you in the forum
