Although I am a convert to digital photography I have been interested in photography for years. I left school and joined the Royal Navy and completed 24 years service and at the ripe old age of 40 was pensioned off, During my service I visited lots of interesting places and I just wish digital photography was around during those times. I am a veteran of the Falklands Conflict (was it really 38 years ago) and I was in Hong Kong for the handover, after leaving the Royal Navy I was a heavy goods chauffeur and toured UK and found some lovely places for photographs, I then went to work at Gatwick Airport, I am now semi retired. For our 25th Wedding anniversary my wife bought me a Canon EOS 300D and with the lenses that I had from our Canon film camera's I was like a kid with a new toy, we spent our anniversary in New Hampshire at the time of the fall and my wife loved the camera so much we purchased a Canon EOS 350D on return from the states, which because it has a small grip she finds ideal. After about 2 years I wanted to upgrade to the 20D and once the money was saved I could not find one so opted for the 30D which is a brilliant camera and I am over the moon with it, we have now both upgraded our camera's my wife now has a 77D and I have a 80D, We now have a motorhome and motorbike and have toured parts of Europe, we also love cruising which for me spending most of my life at sea was not top of the holiday list but is now, Bucket list places to visit Alaska,New Zealand, I have my own website eonmatthews.co.uk
