I started photography seriously after buying my first SLR (an Olympus OM1 ) in 1974. I later graduated to OMs 2 and 4 and photographed mainly Natural History subjects using Kodachrome 64.

In 1983 I retired form teaching and joined NDPS (the best move I ever made in photography). Another good move was joining the RPS which I did shortly after. I got my LRPS and a year or two later, my ARPS in Nature and was commended by Heather Angel who headed the judging panel! All of this, I think, has helped me to improve my photography. There is of course still plenty of room for further improvement and an FRPS is still a dream. 

Another interest has been audio visual work and I have enjoyed making sequences using slides. Now that I have 'gone digital' (Olympus E1) I am getting to grips with digital sequences. It's a fairly steep curve.
