I began to take a serious interest in digital photography when I bought a Konica-Minolta A200 DIMAGE. This is a great little bridge camera with a very useful zoom lens, 8.0 megapixel sensor and anti-shake.
I then moved on to a much more serious DSLR, the Canon EOS 40D. This is a camera for the enthusiast and provides terrific image quality and great flexibility. I have a selection of Canon, Tamron and Fujifilm lenses, prime and telephoto, Giottos and Velbon tripods, a number of Hoya, B&W and Cokin filters and various Lowepro bags.
I then acquired a Fujifilm XPRO-1 compact system camera. Originally purchased as a lighter alternative to the bulky Canon, it soon became my camera of choice. It is a significant upgrade on the 40D and is a true professional piece of kit. Combined with superb dedicated lenses, using the system is a joy, images are pin-sharp, low-light performance is first class. I also upgraded my filters to the Lee system.
Having evolved through the XPRO-2, I currently have the Fujifilm XT-5 with its 40 megapixel sensor, full weather-proofing and twin memory card. My main tripod of choice is now a Three-Legged-Thing.
I also acquired a Fujifilm XT-30. This is a real pocket rocket and so far I am absolutely blown away with the image quality and functionality of this little beauty. I already have a number of Fuji lenses - plus 1 Rokinon.
For most of my landscapes shots I follow what is called the representational style, with very little in the way of post-processing - I just want to produce what I saw on the day (or night).
I am gradually extending my scope of work and have had a number of commissions for various clients, covering such things as company brochures or web sites, dancing displays and school musicals. I am developing a keen interest in portraiture and macro work.
My work has been published in the Herald Newspaper and Digital Photo Magazine. I have been a prize-winner with ePhotozine and a featured photographer on PictureSocial.com. My images have been used in numerous websites and publications, including travel agents and magazines, all promoting the beauty of Scotland. One image has even been used as the background to a Scottish bank card!!
