About Me
Based near Wolverhampton.
Visitors expecting competition standard photography will be disappointed. For this collection the geography is more important than the photography, so many images have been obtained in less than helpful light, and submitted regardless.
Most time of day details showing on image exif data are GMT (UTC) throughout the year (except where I have messed up the settings)! The exceptions are the few instances where I have used a fairly low specification mobile phone.
Many dates given to scanned negatives and transparencies (c1963 to 2004) are often approximate, and subject to future correction. (Cameras: Halina 35mm,Taron Rangefinder 35mm, Praktica SLR, Zeiss Werra, Olympus OM10 and 20).
I am currently using a Panasonic Lumix TZ100, and a Canon EOS 80D whenever I can cope with its bulk and weight, and occasionally a Panasonic Lumix TZ60. Any editing is with good old Adobe elements 5. Scans of negatives and transparencies have been with an Epson 3170 flatbed, and since late 2023 a Plustek 8200i SE (with its very "temperamental" Silverfast 9 software).
Earlier images made use of a Fujifilm S5600 (good), a Fujifilm S1800 (not so good), a Panasonic TZ3 (good but I broke it!), and a Panasonic TZ7 (good, but it was nicked).
If members or viewers can suggest additional information or corrections for the texts of my images (particularly regarding historical or agricultural details) do please contact me. I do request that all users of my images on their own web-pages should show the full Creative Commons Licence and my name; a link to details is on every image page.
Up to 1600 pixel images of my earlier photos can be uploaded to this site on request (except 2007 images at the Wren's Nest, which have been lost). Sometimes these can be considerably better in quality than the image showing on the photo page. Higher resolution files may be provided for commercial use by agreement. It is worth noting that prints from thousands of Geograph images
