I was born in South Shropshire and have lived here all my life. I have been interested in Photography since I was a lad but with the advent of digital my interest mushroomed. I obtained a copy of "Photoshop 7" 25 years ago and spent time learning it. I was especially keen to learn how to stitch panoramas together. Around 10 years ago I discovered the Photobook. Many of the online photo developers were offering a service whereby they would create a professional looking book of your photo collection. I became familiar with the process and have gained a lot of experience in their creation. After I retired in 2021 I learned Video editing with Da Vinci Resolve. I have over 150 videos posted on my you tube channel.
