About me

It all started years ago:-

  • I bought a cheap digital camera to take pictures of our cat (yes, I blame the cat). Upgraded quickly to a bridge camera
  • Then took a few pictures at various motorsport events and quickly bought a professional spec digital SLR.
  • Very soon, Sally (my wife) was hooked also, which made purchasing Canon 1D SLR’s and L-series lenses so much easier to justify.
  • Left a full time job as an Electronic Development Engineer at Calrec Audio Ltd to focus fully on photography and whatnonegatives.com

I started out covering both motorcars and motorbikes but my main focus is now 4 wheeled motorsport and so I now:-

  • Exclusively use Canon 1D mkIV digital SLR’s and Canon L-series lenses.
  • Work with HD 720p/1080p video shot with my 1D mkIV digital SLR cameras.
  • Work with both Apple Mac’s and PC’s, with both being very good at some things and very bad at others!!
  • Contribute on a regular basis to various motorsport publications.
  • Freelance for various motorsport photo agencies.

Things to note:-

  • Always willing to try something new and fully aware that both static and moving pictures will soon be a prerequisite of a motorsport digital SLR user.
  • I’m not a professional web developer, but have managed to set-up a fully searchable, MYSQL database driven photo repository for whatnonegatives.com
  • I’ve now worked on various Microsoft Sharepoint Intranet sites for various large companies.
  • Well versed in coding C, C++, Delphi, Visual Basic and PHP. Many custom projects developed over the years along with those created whilst employed by Calrec Audio Ltd
  • Now creating custom websites including those based on WordPress
