I have been taking photographs as a serious hobby for many years and have used a Single Lens Reflex camera for most of the time. In July 2006 I bought an Olympus E500 Digital SLR camera and started taking pictures for the first time in a number of years. I had given up taking pictures due to the expense of conventional photography, if I went to an event I would always shoot 7or more rolls of film which was a fairly hefty bill in developing costs. I now go out with my Digital and shoot 600 plus photographs which costs me absolutely nothing. Changing over to Digital photography has made a huge difference to the quality and simplicity of taking photographs, and has thus brought back the enjoyment I get from photography.

As you can see in my galleries I enjoy taking a wide range of types of photographs and with the ease of use of the digital camera I am now taking types of photograph that I had not successfully taken with a conventional camera.

I still take photographs as a hobby but have recently been able to to get Press facilities to many motor racing events through PhotosportUK. I have taken pictures at Buxton Raceway , Donington Park , Haydock Park TruckFest , Southport Air Show and the British Musical Fireworks during 2006 and hope to take pictures at 3 Sisters (Near Wigan) and Oulton Park as well during 2007, although I will be concentrating on Buxton and hope to attend all of this years meetings.
