I've now been on epz for a few months and have built up a portfolio and am enjoying the forums. I try to put up a photo for critique every week, close friends tend to gasp in awe at almost anything, so some considered advice is always welcome!

I have been a keen photographer since childhood. I used to do all my own colour processing in an attic darkroom and converted to digital some years ago.

I live on the coast in Dorset within easy reach of the New Forest, the Jurrasic Coast and the hills, meadows and rivers inland, so am blessed with great subjects for my landscape photography.

In addition I like to experiment in Photoshop and generally wind up my friends who tend to be purists and blanche at the idea of fiddling with an image!
