Ancient Greece Tour of 1986
On a previous visit to Greece, my 35mm SLR camera had a catastrophic failure on the first day, the camera itself did have minor functionality, and with my best guess on aperture and shutter speed settings, I ended up with better results than expected, with nearly 200 slides of my visit.
The third Weekend in April 2013, I travelled back to Athens, Greece. The main purpose of my trip was to re-visit some of the archaeological sites I’d seen before, and to take digital and 35mm slide images of those sites. I thought whilst here, I’d try the panoramic option on my camera.
Corfu 1987
Due to the previous years visit to Greece and the catastrophic failure of my camera, I decided to change to a different model of camera for this trip to Corfu, only to find out on my return that this camera had a shutter fault.
At the end of April 2022, I travelled back to Corfu, to take digital and 35mm slide images of the Island. The company that processed my slides, their machine had a malfunction and I lost them all, I returned back to the island in March/April 2023 to successfully re-shot those images.

My DSLR history, I initially purchased the Fujifilm S2 Pro in early 2003, I then upgraded to the following models, the Fujifilm S3 Pro, Nikon D7000, Nikon D7500 (for a very short time), and then finally onto the Nikon D750.
My Sony a6000, due to this camera being upgraded to the a6400, in May 2022 I had a Full Spectrum (FS) conversion carried out on it. Using the appropriate infrared filter (680nm) and colour channel swapping when editing, I now use this camera to take infrared images.
