About Me
I've been doing photography as a hobby since I retired from teaching in 2021. I started by taking the year-long A Year With My Camera online course, which gave me a fantastic grounding in the technical side of taking photographs and also allowed me to meet lots of like-minded hobbyists in my area by agreeing to run the England: East Anglia sub-group. I've met other photographers by attending various workshops in the area and I now have quite a network of friends with whom I am able to share my passion.
I shoot with two cameras, an Olympus OM-D E-1 Mark III and an OM System OM-1. I have a selection of lenses, and am still learning how to use them properly - you never stop learning! I use ACDSee Ultimate 2025 for digital asset management and for developing and editing my photos. I also have DxO Pure RAW 4 for denoising images when I've used a high ISO setting.
I am hoping to start blogging about my photo journey once this website is up and running, and I hope you'll enjoy following along.
