Welcome to a world seen through my (admitedly colourblind) eyes. I use Lightroom for some post processing to try and capture what was in my mind when I took the picture, in an attempt to reflect what was really there.
I am constantly amazed by the quality of images on this site and find inspiration from the high number of excellent photographers here. I aspire to be as good as them and am always willing to take on advice. I often sacrifice the chance of getting votes on my images so that I can post them on the Critique gallery.

How Big Is Big?
OK. Thank you all so far. The DOF in your photographs KevSB is wonderful (interestingly, I guess the soldiers move quickly so the 5D focus is coping well despite what so... -

Camera for a 9year old
My 8 year old grandson can happily use a D200 with an 18-55 kit lens. He and his 12 year old sister find that a D3 series body with a pro lens is just too big to even ho... -
