Hello from over the pond.

Postby Wayland » Wed Apr 22, 2009 12:10 pm

Hi, My name is Gary Waidson but most people know me as Wayland.

I'm a Landscape photographer, amateur, shooting mainly in the UK.

I've been reading the magazine for a while now and thought it was about time I dipped my toe in the waters of your forum.

Not sure what else to say so I'll introduce myself with a few pictures so you know the sort of stuff I take.

I'm sure I'll get a lot out of being here, I hope I can contribute something as well.

Hi Gary,

I did comment on your other post on the IR subject, but welcome again. :D :D

Fantastic images again.

There are a couple of others on here from the UK as well, I live just north of Northampton.

Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Hi Gary,

Glad to have you with us.
Great shots - and I even recognize one of them.
I have my own collection of shots of Roche Rock on film from way back in 1999.
Yours is far better :D
I assume the picture of the mine on the coast is Cornwall as well?
Beautiful, rugged country.
Keep 'em coming!

Thanks everyone for your welcome and kind comments.

oTTer: I don't normally talk much about my cameras because they're only tools at the end of the day.

For reference I have almost stopped using film although I still have medium and large format cameras packed away somewhere.

I tend to pack a Canon 5D with marque 17-40, 70- 200 and a 2x Extender for my serious stuff and a G10 in my pocket as a visual diary.

I consider a tripod my most important accessory and Wellington boots a close second.

My darkroom is now almost hidden under wires and computer equipment these days.

Edd: Nice to see I'm not the only Limey around here, glad you liked the website by the way.

Pokie: I don't know why it took me so long to go and shoot Roche Rock, it's a great little location.

The engine house is in Cornwall at a place called Botallack Head, another good location and always a stop over when I'm in the area.

Pat: I've never been accused of being a shrinking violet, I tend to think there's no point in doing things half heartedly. :)

Mitchell: The only tip I can give you is keep chucking light at the sensor and eventually you'll find it just seems to happen.

Thank you Bob,

I've got a bit of catching up to do with the text this weekend.

I often find it hard to talk about my photo's so I always fall behind.

I usually use a Canon 5D for my serious work but I keep a G10 in my pocket for opportunities.

Most of my pictures are from a full frame, I tend to crop with my feet rather than the computer. :)

This is very nice natural landscape photography.I like these photography very much because there are very minor things which kept in mind by you in this type of photography.I like the creative work in this type of photography and it is looking very gorgeous scene in the mountains,water and the historical buildings.
