For those interested in a few technical details, my present camera is a Canon EOS-100. I use only two lenses (both zooms), a Sigma 28-105mm and a Canon 70-300mm. I generally use Fujicolor 400 film as this allows me to hand-hold at 300mm focal length for the "close-up portrait shots". I sometimes use the in-camera flash to provide fill-in flash for portrait-type shots. Some of my earlier photographs, however, were taken with a Minolta GX-7 camera with a Tamron 45-150mm lens.

For the preparation of computer images I use commercial prints (A4 enlargements if possible). I have an OpticPro 9630P flat-bed digitiser and use Adobe Acrobat software for the scanning. I then carry out photo editing (minimal use so far, mainly cropping and colour/contrast control) using Microsoft Photo Editor software. I compose my web pages as Word files and transfer these to my GeoCities website using the GeoCities EZ File Upload Utility. Within GeoCities I edit the files to include the photographs. Fortunately GeoCities offer 15 MB of free webspace, and this website of mine uses less than 1 MB.
