My name is Steve and I’ve dabbled in photography to some degree for many years (had various film 35mm cameras at given times) with a hiatus of a few years until I decided to have a closer look at digital a few years ago. I spent a fair bit of time playing with computer graphics and the ability to process photos digitally was very appealing. It still is.
I spent a couple of years as a semi pro photographer, I guess you’d say, shooting events and writing magazine articles for money, but do not consider myself the best or even a pro. For the past few years I’ve been an avid photographer and regular in several photography forums around the net and have enjoyed helping others to lift their photography to levels they were struggling to attain.
I’m really hoping to help people find ways to refine their thinking, approach to, techniques with, how they go about preparing to take a photo, and then maybe how they process it afterward.
At this early point in the game I’m not really looking at advanced techniques in any detail, even though I will use some advanced techniques and the resulting photos in future entries here. I don’ t intend to provide a step by step tutorial.
The idea is to give an insight into what was going on in my head when I took the photos, and hopefully in the process, help others to find ways to improve their photography.
If just some people enjoy and benefit from my ramblings here I’ll be happy.
