About Me Dennis Holmes
This is my own personal website - every bit of it. I'm just one man who try's to take the best pictures his abilities and equipment allow, and yes, let me also say, while often inspired by actual products, other website's etc,
I do try not to be fooled into thinking that the latest mega wega pixel thingy or the newest sharpest imaged stabilized optical device will make me a better photographer, I know it won't.
Great photographs have been taken since the dawn of the very first primitive camera. Hope you get my point. It's what's behind the camera that matters the most - that's you and me, not the camera make or model we happen to have in our hands at the time. I think we've all said or thought at some point in are lives, "if only I had my camera with me now". It's that great time when we see the perfect image presented in front of us, it may be perfect lighting or just wonderfull composition - ideally both. That's what makes a good photo a great photo, remember its not the camera it's knowing when and where to press the shutter button.
Cameras don't take pictures, photographers do, cameras are just the tool we use. All cameras, no matter how good or bad they are, can be used to create outstanding photographs for winning photo contests or even hanging in art galleries. The camera or lens has very little to do with the quality of images it can be used to produce.
Photographers make photos, not cameras. "More megapixels don't make or take mega pictures."
My website is purely my own thoughts and any opinions I may pass are my own. This website gives me a chance to show off a few of my photo's.
it is not my intension to fool any one, I am anything more than one man with a computer and a camera.
Read this site at your own risk there are probably pages with mistakes I have no proof-reader (only the wife) i'm one man and a computer, if you do spot something please point it out to me, let me know.
About me DenHolmes my original aim was to display some of my photographic work to friends and family, I thought any one else that happened to stumble upon it might be counted as a bonus, but as this site is now growing and getting a lot more traffic from all over the world let me fully introduce myself. My name is Dennis Holmes I live in the village of Rocester, Nr Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, UK. Born 1950 I have spent most of my life in Rocester (pronounced Row'ster), attended three local schools, went on to work briefly at the local mill, then Nestles Ashbourne from there to JCB and onto Sheard of Uttoxeter where I spent twenty seven years working as a motor technician.
My analogue photography days are very much over where it was much more difficult to control the finished results.
