Images By Raymond Dormer Dunblane 2027 Calendar

Now an established member of the “over 50’s Club” I started off using a film camera many years ago and I remember the anticipation awaiting the results from the lab. The cameras I used were handed down from my (late) father when he upgraded his own equipment. I remember using a Zorki and a Zenith along with a light meter to get the correct exposure. We also developed our own B&W images in a small cupboard under the stairs (no Harry Potter here!). I eventually bought my own camera – a Minolta X300 – in 1988 on Guernsey. Taking pictures using the digital medium was started with a Sony DSC-P9 then a Canon and Panasonic before I discovered the Fuji X-A1. I then upgraded to an X-T20 then an X-T3. I currently shoot with a Fuji X-T5 with a multitude of different lenses. My gear comes with me (almost) everywhere I go. Fuji equipment found my love of taking pictures resurged. I have dipped my toes into wedding photography when friends asked me to take some images of their wedding (Doug and Chiara – thanks!!) I did another when my brother and his fiancée tied the knot in August 2019. I’ve since shot 5 weddings which I’ve enjoyed immensely. One of my images has been published in a small book after a competition on “Visit The Trossachs” Facebook page, two images were published in “Scottish Life” magazine in a feature on Bridge of Allan, several images have been featured in an international gallery organised by “Glasgow Gallery of Photography” in Glasgow. The Gallery now has a new permanent home at Glassford St, Glasgow and a 2nd gallery has just opened on the High Street, Glasgow. I had another showing a sea-king helicopter rescue a tourist at the National Wallace Monument published by Press & Journal. 

I hope you get some enjoyment from visiting my page and viewing my images..
