rec.photo.equipment.35mm participant profile
Peter Boorman
Location: UK.
Photography: Landscapes
and plants & gardens. Also some studio still-life
and some architecture. Most things apart from people, really - though I do
do some band photography.
Years of photography experience:
I became interested as a child, did some
professionally in the 'eighties and then did other things. I came back to
working at it from 1999. I also do some teaching of photography, and tutor
with the Creative Arts Retreat Movement.
There is a short 'bio.' at http://www.bard-hill.co.uk/Bio.html
Years on r.p.e.35mm: since
about 2002, posting, and submitting to the
Shoot-In less often than I'd like to, as "Bandicoot"
Small photo collection online at http://www.bard-hill.co.uk
Equipment:
bodies: In 35mm I use mostly Pentax.
lenses: Just about anything - I am particularly drawn to moderate
wide-angles and short telephotos, though I find I use a 300mm quite often
for landscapes.
Film preferences:
B&W: Ilford HP5, Kodak Tri-X, Kodak T400CN, Kodak T-Max 3200.
Colour: Fuji Velvia 100F, Kodak E100VS, and a few other slide films for
landscapes and cities. Kodak Portra 160NC for gardens, and Portra 400UC for
grab shots and low light.
