I am a silver surfer with an interest in photography and developing my WordPress website. I began learning photography in retirement as a hobby and to keep my creative mind, body, and soul active while doing something I really enjoy. Having had a love of color, dark, and light as a young lad from receiving a kaleidoscope for Christmas and a powerful color-changing torch ignited my first imagination of the light fantastic.

Many years later I have toiled for months hunting down bits and pieces that can be utilized in photography-related hobbies for a low cost. Using skills knowledge and experience gathered in almost a lifetime I built my own computer workstations to facilitate my hobbies. I test my WordPress sites on desktop using Wamp as I don’t know how to code therefore this site is hosted with wordpress.com using Full Site Editing.

I bought most of my equipment on eBay at low cost from people who have experimented with photography themselves having moved on now to better equipment or new hobbies and all from trustworthy individuals, charity shops, and suppliers of new and used photography equipment with recommendations from many experienced photographers.

I use an old Nikon D5100 camera which was on special offer as my first camera and have acquired lenses of differing ranges without too much outlay such as a darkroom lens, microscope objective lens, and three standard Nikor lenses of various sizes. A used Nikor Flash compliments the kit I am at present using. I have built a sliding macro/closeup rack from two old Canon FL bellows while my camera sits on a very sturdy tripod with a ball head.
