Andrew Taylor's albums
I love taking pictures of People although I try not to let that stop me trying out everything else when I get an opportunity. My first two cameras were an Exakta Ihagee 35mm and a Mamiya C33 2¼" square. I used the Mamiya for portraiture and the Exakta for "out 'n' about". My present cameras are a Minolta DSLR D7 and kit, and a compact which I have on my belt at all times except when in my pyjamas, is a Panasonic Lumix TZ3. The latter gives a 35mm equivalent of 28mm to 280mm (optically at 7MPxls, more if I stop down the Megapixels) and has a Leica lens. Now, at 70, I have decided that when the DSLR finally dies, I shall just stick with the Lumix. I was brought up in South Africa, have spent three years in the USA and three years in France, and travelled extensively. I am married to Pam who, although she takes photographs, prefers painting pictures to taking them. My nickname is Ampers which developed in the 'eighties, then I used to sign my name on the old Bulletin Boards as "&Roo". (And-Roo - Andrew.)
