Chick Calder L.R.P.S.

I've been actively interested in photography for over 40 years, since I bought my first SLR, a Zenith E way back in 1967. Over the years I've progressed through various cameras Chinon, Nikon, and Minolta to end up with my present digital system Konica Minolta Dynax 7D, and for film photography, yes I'm a dinosaur and still take slides, and more to the point I think as long as it's available I probably will, for this I use my Minolta 7000.

Like many photographers I shoot nearly anything, Landscapes, Flowers and if I must give a preference it would be Natural History. In this existence of my web site I have tried to change the pages available as I get fed up having to scroll to the next one. I wish there was a way that new images could be inserted at the begining of the page rather than at the end that way you could see the improved stuff befor the rest.

I'm a Member of both the Royal Photographic Society and Edinburgh Photographic Society. I obtained my Licentiateship in 1999 and am currently working on a panel for my Associateship. I tried it with my flower images but was told the subject is too common and not different eneough but I have come up with another idea which I'm currently working on. I'm also a past president of the Edinburgh Photographic Society, founded in 1861, and a judge on the Scottish Photographic Federation list.

In addition to Photography I am a very keen fisherman and I enjoy both fly fishing for trout and big game fishing for Marlin, Shark, catfish, Skate etc

I hope to change my images so please if you can come back and see anything new, and most importantly let me know what you think of the images

Always remember photography is fun and should be enjoyed either in the taking of an image or in the looking at it.
