Welcome to Dave Collier's photography home page. There are several galleries of my photographs in topical groups for you to look at, covering the whole range of interests that I have in this fascinating hobby.

My Photography

I have been involved with photography for many years, from my first attempt with a Kodak Brownie 127 way back in 1960 when my family were living in Singapore, up to today when I am using some of the latest kit in affordable digital cameras. My real involvement in photography came when I was serving with the Royal Air Force in the former West Germany in 1971. I do have access to a conventional darkroom, although I have not used this for some time, preferring to use the convenience of a digital darkroom on my PC.

For many years I have used Pentax ME Super 35mm SLR cameras supplemented by a couple of Mamiya roll film cameras. Recently I found it increasingly difficult to focus these cameras, so I traded them in for Canon 35mm equipment. In recent years I have migrated to digital cameras, but have stuck with Canon cameras, although i have now aquired a couple of Sigma lenses.

I am mainly interested in taking portraits and artistic nude images, but I have been known to do the odd landscape including environmental images of rural towns and villages. There was a time when I took many photos of trains and aircraft, but I find that I do not photograph these subjects much these days.
