I can only dream of having camers similar to yours but I'll just have to wait and save for many more years.

When I take photos, I need people to be in them. They show the fashion in vogue at the time of the photograph and give a size comparison with the object I am taking since we all know the approx size of the average person. Also when taking photos of subjects like traction engine rallies, 40 years on, identification of well known people at the time is often as interesting to Forums such as T-T as the actual subject.

Point of interest, my camera can now be bought for.
Point of interest, for the 2008 GDSF photos, the camera - Fujipix S9600 can be bought for £190 and has been described as:"In terms of design and style the Fuji Finepix S9600 is as close as you will get to a digital SLR without buying one."

The other photos were nearly all taken with a cheap Ilford Sportsman 35mm or a Pracktica SLR 35mm camera
