Welcome to my new website; Intended for the beginner, amateur and enthusiastic photographer alike, this web site is primarily designed to give guidance, provide inspiration and help expand one’s photographic knowledge and experience through the hints, tips and gallery pages provided within the site.

Photographs mean many different things to many different people, some use photography to record events as a practical diary of everyday life, some use photography as a way to express themselves, their artistic thoughts and imagination. Photographs can be used to convey powerful emotion and feeling, special occasions, create records of historic events and even the beauty of nature. Whatever photographs and photography in general means to you, you can be assured that there is no one way or method to capture that definitive slice of time.

Of course a camera is needed to record your images and there is such a vast array of cameras, from point and shoot film cameras to high end professional Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras each with their different features and capabilities, one important thing to remember is that the camera is just a tool, it’s ability to record an image relies on you, the photographer to make the image a successful one.

While there are many technical aspects to photography, it’s the development of your own photographic style that will bring you the most pleasing and rewarding results, the images that you consider to be the most successful ones. Developing your own personal photographic style is a culmination of experimentation, familiarity, a willingness to learn from your own mistakes by looking objectively at your own work and looking at and critiquing other’s work and an ability to see the final result through the minds eye. Look through this web site and follow me on my journey as I develop my own photographic style, and well you never know you too may learn or be inspired along the way.
