Hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I did taking them! Thank you for taking time to view my portfolio, and for your votes & kind comments - it really is encouraging. I've made many friends on here since I joined EPZ, who have truly inspired me.

I'm er...over 60 years of age and live in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I bought my first SLR around 1983, and joined Wakefield Camera Club in 1986 after seeing their exhibition in the local shopping centre.
I converted to digital in 2002, using a Sony Cybershot, then a Nikon Coolpix, until I upgraded to a Nikon D40 digital SLR in 2007. I recently upgraded from this to a Nikon D3000.
Many Camera Club members were shooting in Raw, and I eventually got converted to this shortly after I joined EPZ, and when I upgraded from my old Photoshop Elements 2 to Elements 6, as it features Adobe Camera Raw.
Got introduced to EPZ by fellow Camera Club members, and found that viewing other photographers images on here inspired me more, and has encouraged me to go out and get more pics!
I use Topaz Adjust (a Photoshop plug-in), or Photomatix Pro to enhance images, and I think these have greatly helped to improve my image processing.
