Introduction
My photo album contains photographs I have taken since the early-1990s to the present
day. There are quite a lot of images, as you can imagine! What I have done is categorise
the photos by subject to make it as easy as possible to navigate. The variety of
images is an mix of all sorts of subjects that I have committed to either photographic
film or a digital sensor. The album is being added to on a continuous basis.
Points to note:
- I have displayed the photos in a consistent format. Underneath each photo, which
are all individually numbered, I have stated the technical details of each photograph,
which is generally the date it was taken, camera and lens used, shutter speed, aperture
and any other details such as if I used a filter. Underneath these details, in some
cases, I have added comments about the photograph, such as the location or something
else relevant to it. The technical details are in an italic font, the general comments
are in ‘normal’ text font, to differentiate the two. In some cases, all of the photos
on a subject were taken on the same date, in which case the date will be noted at
the top of the page rather than state this for each photograph.
- Regarding the technical details - in some cases, these details are missing, so I
have stated whatever details I have on the photograph such as the film used. Also
note that for the photographs taken with the digital camera, the lens aperture used
might not be exactly correct. This is because the setup I have is a Leica SL(typ
601) camera body with Leica R series lenses, which requires the use of a lens adapter,
where the camera has to estimate the aperture used and is not always correct. If
you want to know what medium was used for a photograph, realise that from 1992 to
2017 I used film; from 2024, I use a digital camera, so you will be able to see from
the date the photograph was taken whether I used film or digital.
- The photos shown on each page are displayed in relatively low-resolution, for two
reasons - to minimise copyright theft, and to keep the file sizes down, otherwise
the pages might take a long time to load. This manifests itself with aspects such
as ‘banding’, where lines appear in areas of sky, etc.
Please browse the album to your heart’s content; the list of subjects are below.
If you have any comments to make or would like to ask me about anything regarding
the photographs, please email me using the link above, next to the Facebook icon.
I would especially like to hear from other photographers because comments, especially
criticism, are very welcome. Photography is an art form and very subjective, so photographs
that appeal to someone might not to someone else; the technique employed to take
photos can vary widely from subject to subject. And of course, do follow me on Facebook
so you can be updated whenever new photographs are added to the album.
At the bottom of each page of the album, there is a link to take you back to the
top of the page, as some of them are quite long!
