A permanent collection of my favourite photos of all time in three themes:
This is where I started, when I was given a Soviet Zenith-B SLR for my 16th birthday (1971). It had no electronic components and no need for a battery, but a decent f/2 lens and a ground glass focusing screen that encouraged careful framing. In 1973 I upgraded to a Minolta SRT-303 with an f/1.4 50mm lens. I developed most of my photos at this stage – mostly Perutz colour slides.
Gradually, I developed a passion for travelling the world and took more photos on my trips and fewer close to home. In 1988 I went autofocus with a Nikon F-801 and a fantastic trio of f/2.8 lenses (24mm, 35-70mm and 180mm). I have stayed with Nikon since.
From about 2016 my main photographic interest has been wildlife, especially birds, although my love of travel continues. I took many photos with a Nikon D500 and 200-500mm f/5.6 zoom combo, until I went mirrorless in 2024 with a Nikon Z8.
