Here is a selection of photos I have taken over the last 10 years or so. I started with a Canon EOS 10 camera using both slide and negative film then I went on to digital about 2002. My first decent digital camera was an Olympus E-10 back in 2002. This was a good enough camera at the time but over the years there has been a rapid improvement in the quality and pixel size of the digital cameras available so eventually I changed back onto a Canon camera again. At the moment I have a Canon EOS 10D digital SLR with a couple of lenses, a EF 28 - 135 IS USM and a EF100 - 300 USM, plus a Canon Speedlight 550EX flash and a BG-ED3 grip for it. That is a very good camera kit and can produce lovely images, in the right hands, but a bit heavy and bulky to carry around all day. So I now also have a Canon Powershot S5is for day to day use as it is smaller and lighter and also takes great shots under normal conditions.

I have added a lot more photos and will keep added them as I go through my collection. The older photos on slides are being scanned on my Nikon Coolscan LS-5000ED film scanner which produces great digital images from slides of negative film. It is a slow process finding the slides for the older photos, viewing and selecting them and then preparing them for the web so it may take a while getting them all done.
