Greets all.
Finally I get round to registering, I chatted to Psifox at a pet exhibition last October and he recommended this forum. I'm Rache, 40, been taking photos for years but have only had a DSLR for a year (Nikon D3100 - Booooo I hear people say
)
I have a standard lens and no accessories, the technical side of photography makes me want to cry and gives me a headache - my snapper friends talk about F-stops and apertures and depths of field and I really do struggle to make sense of it. I seem to learn quicker by hanging out with snappers and asking questions, rather than trying to learn from a book. I try to use Manual as often as I can when photographing but am often let down by the "it looked fine in on the camera preview screen but when blown up it's horrendous" so I'm sad to say I default a lot to AUTO mode (boooo hiss!) White balance and ISO settings send me running for therapy!
My main interest is snapping cars - I'm a total petrolhead. I have a 2002 Elise (http://youtu.be/P-kqJ1x_taw) and a 1963 Morris pick-up truck. I used to race karts and I think have inherited my dad's "petrol in the veins" genetic disposition. I adore the lines and curves of cars and I see a vented disc brake, a suspension assembly, or the rear curve of an Elise as pieces of art that scream to be photographed. An ultimate dream would be to travel the world photographing Supercars
My portfolio is at www.rache.co.uk, here are a few of my bests:
I also have a Facebook page, plz join up https://www.facebook.com/KuqoPhotography
So far I've had a pic used on the cover of an Australian Lotus club magazine and have also got pics on the official Lotus Evora page and Lotus Goodwood FoS page, so I must be doing something right
Mainly looking for local people to go snapping with so I can suck knowledge from their heads, but I see by the map there are very few people out Norwich way
My day job involves sitting staring at a computer screen all day so I'll hopefully be able to lurk on the forums as often as I can
When I'm not snapping stuff or working my fingers to the bone I also like to dress up in Stormtrooper armour or Ghostbusting gear - www.tk2441.co.uk. Geek and proud! I live life to the full and when I turned 40 I didn't bother with a party or p*ss-up, I went paragliding with an Egyptian vulture - Highly recommended!!!!
