skida
I am biker and an amateur photographer living in the County of Northumberland, Northeast England.
My favourite subject for photographs is Landscape and Buildings, although I will try anything at least once.
I currently use a Kodak Z812IS superzoom bridge camera and many 35mm film cameras.
My post-processing amounts to small adjustments in light, contrast and saturation. I have used the clone stamp for minor imperfections, but always feel guilty afterwards. I do not use HDR. I realise it can be a useful tool but I have seen so many bad examples that I have decided to live without it (for the moment).
I am enjoying re-learning the joys of manual focus and the self control necessary with film photography. Results so far are "getting there".\ I hope my new Canoscan 8800F will help improve the quality of my scans of negs and slides, old and new.
My photographic aspiration is to produce landscape photos that present the subject in the most pleasing and natural way possible.

NO NO Mike it is fine what all you said about the names. You are smarter than me to change you name so often. I am not sure I would do that, but at some point, if need be, I could I suppose. I dooo hope they save as much of the leg as possible Mike. Please keep in touch on this, and stay in good spirits (no not from a bottle, tho that might help huh?) :)) ALl on pano wish you nothing but the best, you are a friend to so many here, dont ever feel like you are alone.

I'm afraid they all lost their jobs a few years ago when "The Big E" closed down. I think it was the last deep coal mine in Northumberland. Still winter I'm afraid, Jethro. Thanks.
