Berns

From Dublin, Ireland, I moved to Valencia Province, Spain in August 2006. Mum to 5 children, I am living happily amongst the Orange Groves, 50k South of Valencia City, with my youngest Daughter, Husband, three Dogs and a Cat.
I took up Photography in July 2009, and am totally addicted to the fun. From the point of view of learning, I shoot anything, but my passion is Street Photography.

Street Photography for me, is capturing little pieces of social history, capturing everyday people going about their everyday lives, moments fleeting, never to be repeated, but still contributing to the fabric that History is made of. I never ask permission to shoot or for people to pose, preferring to shoot unseen and therefore not affect my subjects lives.
My street captures are virtually unedited, simple processing to b/w in Photoscape and sometimes crop (though I hate to crop )
I use a fujifilm HS30 (since November 2012) its not a DSLR, but neither is it a point and shoot, it’s a Bridge Cam, combining a little of both.

“Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gizmos. Photography is about photographers. A camera didn’t make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel.”
