Hi all,
My name is Peter, living close to Stirling (Alloa) here in bonnie Scotland, originally born in Northern Ireland and only moved to Scotland just over two years ago, living/working here full time and loving it.
Been into photography quite a while, only recently got into digital photography over the past ten months or so, previously did some landscape photography using two Nikon film bodies (FM2n and a FM), so used to manual stuff. Now getting used to the new digital learning curve ahead. I self taught with regards to darkroom developing/printing skills about fifteen years ago, loved it. I then sold all my Nikon film cameras and darkroom kit due to things happening in my life, then had a long twelve years of no cameras/photography, so just getting back into it again and have a passion to shoot landscape photography and general stuff.
I only shoot in hi-res jpeg as I've NIL editing skills or programmes, so maybe someone here can keep me right I hope. I use a Canon EOS 5D Mk1 full frame body and have only recently bought two Samyang (manual) lenses, 16mm f/2.8 and a 35mm f/1.4, quality made and very well priced, these two Samyang lenses only arrived today so haven't had chance to shoot anything yet. Also own a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 (non IS). Recently bought a Giottos 9271B aluminium tripod and a Manfrotto 808 RC4 head, nice sturdy kit.
My other hobbies are motorcycling (Suzuki V-Strom DL1000) and hi-fi.
Sorry to bore you all.....
Looking forward to taking part here!!
Regards;
Peter
