Charles Howarth

I’m a keen amateur photographer. I got into photography at the start of 2006 when I decided I needed a new creative output in my life. I tend towards fairly traditional subjects (landscapes, flowers, sunsets etc) but I try to put my own spin on things. I originally used a Nikon D70s but I have recently bought a Nikon D300 DSLR which is a fanstastic camera to use.

I spend my time between the NW of England (South Manchester) and Dublin where I am currently working.

My camera equipment (an ever growing drain on my funds !) :-

Nikon D300
Nikon 105mm F2.8 VR Macro
Nikon 18-200mm VR
Nikon 70-300mm VR
Sigma 10-20mm
Nikon D70s
Manfrotto 055 Pro Tripod
Nikon Cable release

Software used:-
Capture NX (RAW conversion – by far the best for Nikon NEF conversion)
Photoshop CS2
Photomatix Pro (HDR image preparation)
