These
are the circumstances in which my interest in photography
flourished. This was a time when good pictures were more or
less accidental, and more than one good frame in a film was
doing well. Potentially good ones were lost through technical
problems of focussing, exposure, bad cropping etc.
Much
later, when the responsibilities of bringing up children began
to subside, I resolved to dedicate more time once again to
photography, and to tighten up considerably on technique.
So
in 1998, I started going to evening classes in Crediton. Although
these take place in a darkroom environment, discussion has
always spread over a much wider range of topics. Having been
introduced to the work and writings of Ansel Adams, his learned
books 'The Camera', 'The Negative' and 'The Print' have been
read and re-read.
