Welcome to my web site.
I am an amateur
photographer from Easterhouse in Glasgow and I have published these pages to
exhibit some of my images.
My interest in
photography began with my trips to the Scottish highlands where I have been
climbing the 'Munros' for over twenty years in all seasons enjoying all the
beauty that the Scottish landscape has to offer. I always carried a compact
camera to document my days walking in the mountains but it was no
t until I
bought a computer, which was bundled with a flatbed scanner that my
interest
really took off.
I started by scanning
photographs of my trips to e-mail to friends and I soon discovered digital
imaging. I then began surfing photographic web sites viewing other
photographer's work. Inspired by this I bought a second hand Nikon FM2 manual
camera with a 50mm lens. Soon after I enrolled for an evening class in basic
photography where I learned how to develop and print black and white
photographs. Watching my first image appear in the class darkroom was a magic
moment and I was then hooked on photography.
I shoot slide film for
about 99% of my work now but I do not develop my film at home, as I find it more
convenient to have my slides processed by a lab. I then scan them into my
computer and use the digital darkroom to create prints. 
I am a member of East
Kilbride Camera Club where I submit slides and prints for club competitions.
Before joining, I had never seen any of my slides projected onto screen, as I
was only previously able to view them on my computer. Seeing my slides projected
for the first time at the club was a similar experience to watching my first
image appear in the darkroom. This convinced me to stick with slide film and I
now have my own projector and screen to view my photographs at home.
My interest is mainly
landscapes and seascapes but I am equally inspired wandering around Glasgow and
Edinburgh with my camera. My galleries are just a selection of my favourite
images taken in the past few years and include a variety of subjects.
I hope that you enjoy
viewing my images and thanks for taking time to visit my site.
