Using the Site

You can navigate the fotos on my site in two ways:

1. Click on the Creative or Travel headings on the right to open a list of galleries below each heading, or,

2. Click on the + (plus) sign next to Creative or Travel to open a list in the main window. This list also has a brief explanation of what you'll find in the gallery and why I do am pursuing the idea.

Viewing the Pictures

When looking at the photographs you have to click each thumbnail to see them in the next size up. To see them full size, click on the image. This opens a larger version with no toolbar etc cluttering the place up. To return to the website click anywhere on the screen.

Brightness

My monitor, an Acer AL1906 flat screen, is set to about 40% brightness, which makes it pretty dark. You may find that some of the photos here are washed out or overly bright on your monitor. I spend a good eight hours or more looking at the screen and I've turned it down in the hope that it will not burn my eyes out of their sockets.

Birds

I decided to add this section after a test shot with my Canon 40D inspired me to start chasing birds on the move. I find the blurry movements created by doing this fascinating, as they are full of life and light. The position of the wings can create very powerful images as well. We see birds al the time, but rarely are we able to see the full extension of a wing, or the shapes created as they travel through their complete movement up/forwards and down/backwards. How do wings look when bird lands or takes off? These are things we see every day, yet hardly ever really see at all. Sometimes a bird has a chance relationship with something or someone who was in the background, such as bathers on a beach, or a detail from either the bird or something else can be seen through the feathers: I think this makes them even more fascinating.
