About

Me
Amateur photographer in Chorley, Lancashire. I’m an engineer by profession, which may account for the bias towards industrial and mechanical themes in my photography. However, I do try to photograph a wide range of subjects including landscapes and street photography.

Photographic Matters
The pictures on this site were taken with both film and digital SLR's. I tend to use film for black and white and digital for colour, although there are a few digital mono shots where a conversion was the only way to rescue a lacklustre shot!
Increasingly I am using a Sigma 10-20mm wideangle lens for UE pictures, this gives an astonishing field of view although it does weird things with the verticals! On my film camera, a Sigma 24mm wide angle is on more or less permanently. This also gives a very good field of view and is also a fast lens which enables hand holding in a lot of situations.

If you have any questions about anywhere I’ve been, can provide some background detail or have any photographic questions feel free to contact me!
