About Graeme

Graeme has over 10 years of Photographic Experience, starting on Pentax Film SLR he quickly made the jump over to digital. Digital photography allowed for a significant increase in the number of photos he could take at the same time as decrease the cost per photo (Film vs. CF cards).

When travelling digital cameras have a great benefit because it eliminates the hassle of film: carrying film, limited number of exposures, airport x-ray scanners on unprocessed film, no in-field checking.

Current camera system used is the Nikon D90 and D70s-IR (650nm) although Graeme is always looking into the future and sees some promise in newly released Micro 4/3rds cameras and in 590nm infrared photography. When he travels he has a tendency to “borrow” P&S cameras for those moments when a larger DSLR isn’t appropriate, eventually he will purchase his own.

Graeme has travelled Europe and North America, the Caribbean, made a quick stop-over in some Japanese Airports before heading south to do some island hoping and snorkelling in the east Pacific. Currently has plans are for travels to the other “A” continents Africa, Asia, and Australia (and New Zealand).

Graeme also loves to snorkel and does so whenever a trip has the opportunity. He tends to prefer smaller P&S cameras for water activities, they are light and easy to swim with at the same time less expensive to replace if something does go wrong under the sea.

And finally Graeme is a huge fan of night photography, sometimes waiting minutes for an exposure to be completed in order to get a high contrast shot in the middle of the night.
