I did consider making it "password only" access but in the spirit of "Open Source", much of which finds uses in my websites and on my home computer, I've decided that this is an ideal opportunity to put something back into the World Wide Web community. All I ask is an acknowledgement if you use any of my work and if you want to publish it for profit, please consider making a donation toward the cost of maintaining the website.

If you enjoy what I do, feedback is always welcome on here and if you don't... Well am I bothered?]]>

Now I've read and heard all kinds of opinion about the shortcomings of digital photography compared to film but to be frank, apart from some of the early models, my experience with digital cameras has been extremely positive and I can think of more advantages than disadvantages, some of them quite subtle - such as blue bluebells!

As for 'resolution' it seems to me that for website exhibition and the usual enlarged inkjet prints, there is nothing to choose between a film photograph and a digital one. I've yet to find anyone who can tell the difference at that level, especially with a print made on quality paper from a camera of at least 2 mpx. They might say that they can but having tried it out on at least 30 people who made that claim, only one has passed the test and that was only by studying a significantly enlarged picture with strong vertical elements.

I'd be interested in hearing other opinions, for or against, and lets get a healthy good-natured debate going in here. ]]>
