So, you have reached my user page. Whether you stumbled across it or happened upon here with purpose, I am the creator and administrator of this site and I am here to help out if anyone runs into issues. This area is where I tend to add stuff to help me work on different aspects of the site, mainly because I forget things that might be useful. So it is here where I come back to, making notes and adding links to other pages and templates.
I am not a photographer, at least not in the professional sense, but I do enjoy taking photos, primarily of landscapes. I use the Sony RX10 bridge camera and my iPhone 12 Pro. A lot of the photos on this site have been taken with my iPhone, simply because for the size, it carries a fair bit of power. It will never compare to a dSLR, especially a full-frame dSLR, but for simple shots they are great, which is why it always comes in handy when out walking in the countryside without the bulkier camera.
There is a lot of photographic snobbery out there, which doesn't sit well here. If you enjoy taking photos, it shouldn't matter what tools you use. I have taken some fairly decent silky smooth waterfall photos with just my iPhone and small tripod. Zoom in and yes, the quality isn't top notch but I can still enlarge the pictures to full-size on my Mac and they look pretty good.
