I have always had a great love of Nature and so have photographed it more than anything else. As a teenager I would go to parks and spend hours with my tripod photographing plants, dew, cobwebs, (and dew on cobwebs), and other very beautiful things including trees, in particular close-up work of bark, in monochrome, foliage backlit by the sun, springtime buds and bees, to name just a few. Sometimes I would experiment, by stretching things across the lens, i.e. a square of sheer nylon stocking, held in place by an elastic band. This provided a soft focus effect. Messing around with lenses and filters provided additional effects, for example, a starburst filter produced dazzling effects when photographing raindrops. The local camera club gave me an opportunity to experiment with different methods and test out other cameras and formats.

Photography still is a wonderful hobby.

I hope you like this site. It has been put together for your enjoyment and to provide you with an insight into one of Haringey's most beautiful areas, and most certainly Haringey's greenest housing estate.
