Hello Everyone - Recently joined here though a member of the Photograpers Lounge.
Based in South Wales UK
Always have been interested in Photography but became more active after buying a Fuji F660 January 2013 and started having a lot of fun with it. I bought an X10 in May 2014 and although its nearly a year old I’m still learning. I also converted my old Fuji STX1 to pinhole.
Not much interested in Camera types and hypes but quite passionate about seeing good images whatever the source. Note I invariably dislike overblown HDR images and much prefer subtle manipulation.
My philosphy is to spend as little as I can on equipment & software. (There’s a good reason for that). All programs I use are free or came bundled with a mix of cheapo cameras over the years. Primarily I use MyFinepix Studio, Picasa, a very recently downloaded Perfect Effects 9, sometimes Corel Painter Essentials 2. This occasionally boosted with Snapseed & iColorama on an ipad. I can’t say I’ve mastered any program but get quite a kick out of seeing the image develop and evolve.
Generally I like experimenting so haven’t attached myself to any particular style or genre.
I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can, and having fun.
Cheers
Roger
