I’ve been interested in photography from an early age, secretly taking candid pictures with my elderly aunt’s Box Brownie and then watching her reaction when the prints were developed. I took it more seriously in my late teens using my first few months’ pay to buy a SLR and a telephoto lens after I realised that the Box Brownie didn’t cut it when trying to capture Concorde at an Air Show. Is that dot really a plane? I enjoy travelling and usually have a camera with me whenever I go away; my unrealistic aspiration is to capture an image that could grace the National Geographic magazine. I prefer open spaces to studios and capturing people off their guard rather than posed and even though my camera can take multiple shots a second, it is set firmly to single shooting – a legacy of my film days when every image had to be paid for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I joined Croxley Camera Club after I retired a few years ago as I realised I had more time to use my camera and wanted to get more out of it. Talking to and working with like-minded individuals is a great way to take ‘better’ pictures, the sort that people actually look at or talk about. The club’s competitions are not just good fun but also make me think <\/em>about what I’m trying to capture – and sometimes what I’m not! I’m always amazed at the different ways members can interpret a challenge and the sheer variety and quality of the images we produce. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
