Profile
My name is Max Watson. I am a disabled bloke who has been “into” photography for 45 years. I was frustrated with a cheap point and shoot digital camera, but have recently been able to get a much better camera & so hope to produce some better work. I struggle to get out and about but happy to join photographic outings with patient people.
I’m old fashioned in that I still believe that the art should be in the camera… composition, exposure, etc. but I also accept that today the computer IS the darkroom… but I keep that to a minimum, working on the KISS principle.
Having only one hand (that works) I cannot use an SLR easily so I went for a Fuji S5800 & vervy recently upgraded to the new Fuji S100fs, which I have given to my son and bought a Canon 450D DSLR.
