I've been photographing since I was 17, Pentax KM with standard lens. Then shifted to a Nikon FE, then an FA - I still have the FA, and also a Nikkormat Ft-n. I've got a lot of old Nikon lenses, including my pre-Ai 80-200mm. These days I'm using a Pentax K-1 with the 15-30mm, 24-70mm zooms, a Pentax 100mm macro, and a Pentax 50mm f1.4 (the rest are all f2.8). I also have a 645n with 75mm for pictures of my grandson, and a Zenit 11 with the Helios 58mm f2. Outside of photography I am a full-time student in my last year of an English degree and an overly ambitious music maker using Reason 8, a father of two fantastic children, and the proud grandfather of my 7-month old bundle of joy, a little lad called Oliver. I use Adobe CC, Raw Therapee because it correctly decodes Pentax pixel-shift images, and I am at the content creation stage of my first website which will combine imagery, text, and music.
