Kit and Software

As of February 2008 my equipment is a Canon EOS 40D,  Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS  with Canon 1.4x and 2x converters, and Canon EOS 20D  with 17-85 and 75-300 Canon lenses, Sigma 2.8 105 macro, Speedlight 580EX flash. I also have a Fuji 9500 as back up and usually an Olympus mju 4mp in my pocket. Software includes Paint Shop Pro Photo XI and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

For 2007-8 I have a Blue Square Football Conference Licence and £2,000,000 public liability insurance

The Gallery

The gallery has been developed in Coppermine by my son Daniel. The majority of pictures are taken at Non league football matches around Sussex and Surrey. I am also trying to get to grips with shooting some motor sport. When using the gallery click on a thumbnail image to see a larger version.

The Photos

I am currently resisting selling the photos via on-line services. I am now retired and I am not keen to get into serious business at the risk of it spoiling my enjoyment of photography. However due to the popularity of the gallery and the interest shown in my pension by the tax man, I am happy to make higher resolution images available for a small fee to cover costs, on request. Higher resolution images may also be made available for publication, by arrangement. I am happy for low resolution copies to be used on club websites, I only need an email request. Note, contrary to some opinion it is not my intention to take bread and butter from any professional photographers. This is a serious hobby which I enjoy immensely. I just wish I had been lucky enough to make it my career.

Lived in Hampton, Middlesex for many years. Went to Hampton Grammar School but couldn't really justify doing homework while The Goon Show was on. Most of my spare time was spent watching motor-cycle racing or going to local jazz clubs e.g. Eel Pie Island and Thames Hotel.

Spent many years in computing with companies including ABS Computers (Portslade), UIS Ltd (Epsom), Capscan Ltd (NW3) and Gultronics.

Settled in Chessington for about 28 years until moving to Wick near Littlehampton (via Tadworth) in 2002. In January 2008 moved to Southwater near Horsham.

Followed Wimbledon FC for about 25 years and now supporting AFC Wimbledon. Having rediscovered non-league football I am now also enjoying the Sussex football scene at clubs including Arundel, Rustington, Littlehampton, Wick, Chichester, East Preston and Horsham
