About
Photos from my journeys around Europe and elsewhere, while working on a merchant ship. A nautical angle may be evident.
Digital cameras
I mostly use an Olympus E-510 with Olympus Zuiko 14-45 lens or Sigma 55-200 lens.
I have also used an Olympus u760, and a Kyocera S-5. Last but not least is the handy Mobile phone camera on my Sony Ericsson.
Analog cameras
Minolta Dynax with Tamron 18-200 zoom
Olympus mju.
I use Photoshop CS2 to play around with some of the images. Next on the shopping list is CS3 and a Wacom tablet for all those layer masking and colouring jobs that take all year.
I have my eye on a new lens too, a 12-60 Zuiko!
I hope you enjoy the photos, and leave a comment if you like!
