My main camera, Canon EOS 300(Rebel 2000 in America) Bought in 1999-no complaints! It is shown wearing the Vivitar 100mm macro lens I use for my flower shots!


This is my second camera, a secondhand Cosina CT1EX.It was purchased by my girlfriend (from Ebay) for a Christmas pressie a couple of years ago.Ususally loaded with black and white film, hence the yellow filter atached! It did come with the zoom shown but I got a nice Pentax 50mm f1.7 for it recently!
My Photography

I recently got back into photography after moving up from the Midlands. Since then i have learnt to be more creative and open
minded. To me photography is an important part of my life and definitley a form of artistic expression.

In 1989 there was a particularly good Lunar eclipse.This is where the Earth's shadow is cast onto the moon, making it appear to glow an orangey red colour. They usually occur every month but are not always visible. On this occasion I had to stay up till 5 AM, and as I had no film in my camera I decided to make a drawing of it.


This is comet Hale-Bopp which put on a good show in 1996.
