About
The photo displayed on this page is of the “left-mitten” in Monument Valley which was photographed on a visit in the summer of 2005. Most of the Photos shown on this site were taken with either my Canon 20D or my more compact and lightweight Konica Minolta Z2. These two cameras have long since replaced my traditional film cameras.
My first forray into Photography was with a Kodak Disc camera that my Grandma gave me, I later inherrited her Olympus 35mm camera which featured both a standard and telephoto lens. As my interest in photography grew I ended up purchasing a Canon EOS 300 film SLR which I continued to use up until I replaced it with the Canon EOS 20D.
For me digital photography has opened up new possibilities and helped me to improve my photography as it’s far easier to learn from mistakes as you go along. Until recently I still used my first digital camera a Fuji A201 (2 megapixel and no zoom), but only when riding horses. I now have a compact Panasonic 5MP camera that I carry with me on city breaks and short trips.
I’ve owned AtlantisWeb.co.uk since 1999 and used to have a Dolphin & Whale information site hosted at this address. I never quite finished the site as my MBA studies took up too much of my free time. This original site can still be found at dolpins.atlantisweb.co.uk. This site was developed using HomeSite & PaintShop Pro and was my first attempt at web site design and development.
These day’s I’m doing things the easy way. AtlantisWeb is hosted using GoDaddy’s Shared Linux Hosting package. This enables me to use OpenSource products to simplify the development and maintenance of the site. The CMS/Blog software WordPress is used to provide the text based portion of the site. The photo gallery is provided using the excellent NextGen Gallery plugin.
In addition to this site I have also built an online store based on Zen-Cart for my sister’s handmade jewellery business CharacterCrafts please do visit this site, you may find something you like.
