I'm retired from being a professional Graphic Designer & Art Director, running my own company based in Chelsea, London.

As a boy growing up in Worcestershire (and Europe), I have always loved taking photos and started with a plastic Brownie box camera.

Before retiring in 1999 I had owned various SLR Nikon F's and latterly a Canon EOS1 plus Canon 650, 620(?) bodies and several lenses but all in the pre-digital era. i sold them all and bought a digital compact and am now on my third generation of FinePix F500EXR.

Most of what I post will be shot on that compact - If I'm wearing trousers I have a camera on me!

Recently I have been borrowing my daughter's Canon 100D DSLR and now plan to get a Canon 700D plus some Canon lenses but will continue to carry my compact - It's the difference between capturing a shot and getting no shot.

My professional background means that I am hardwired into being critical but always in a hopefully constructive way. I'm here to help and to be helped.

Thanks for the warm welcomes :)

There's quite a few of my photos on my facebook page (connected from here as my 'homepage') but I will post some on TP in due course and as appropriate.

Chris Ponsford aka 'chrispons' referred me here as we know each other from various facebook wildlife photography groups. I couldn't list him as the referrer at the time I registered because I didn't know his username.
 
Already finding it a friendly community and useful resource :thumbs:
 
Hello, I am new too, seems like you know photography pretty well ?

....I do and I don't, know photography pretty well.

I am a very experienced judge of photography, though of course some of this can be subjective. I know the basic principles of how photography works and what properties the various settings influence. But there is always something to learn and there will be folks here who know more than I do about digital and lens technology.
 
Hi Robin, welcome to the site, look forward to seeing your images.

^ I applied some HDR in Adobe Photoshop to increase the crazy look. Was my facebook cover for a while.
