Welcome
Hello, welcome, and thank you for looking at my website. My name is Andrew Macdonald and you will be my voyeur on this peek into my life thru’ a lens.
Photography is something I have always been interested in as far back as I can remember, brutalising an old twin lens reflex I ‘discovered’ at my grandparents house during one summer back in the 70’s.
But fast forward to the 21st century... by way of Zenith, Olympus, Pentax and Minolta. Covering a range of letters that would please many a Scrabble player with O’s and M’s, with K’s and E’s - and a wonderful X - I finally found my pleasure began with N. Followed by I-K-O-N.
FM’s and FE’s followed before technology gave us a big dollop of D, killing the need to send away for prints and home Ektrachrome processing. Does anyone else miss the fumes and the cold sensations in your finger tips?
These days I’m pointing a D3 at my subjects, and occasionally I have been known to have my hands on a H4D. Cries of ‘Cover me!’ as I take aim and shoot. So remember folks; if it’s moving, be sure and lead... but if it’s static; heck, take your time. Set up a tripod, maybe go for a long exposure.
One last thing, if I may be so bold to suggest: as you play out your role of voyeur and watch the world go by, maybe you should try and capture some of it; a fraction of a second at a time.
But in the meantime, watch the slideshow to the right, see if something catches your eye and encourages you to look further...
