Hi there and welcome to the latest incarnation of my website. Optomised for a screen resolution of 800x600 and millions of colours. Try pressing F11 (in IE) for a bigger view. Hope you enjoy the pics, drop me a line at ben.lowe@fdgroup.com.

I've been taking serious photographs since Ste did The Very Big And The Very Small and we went to try out my freshly bought, nth hand, Canon AE1. If you're interested in other techy camera type stuff I have a 28-50 lens that just about all my pics are taken with and a 70-210 zoom. My earlier films were all Kodachrome 64 (a Paul Simon influence!) but recently I've been trying out Velvia (in NZ and OZ). I got myself an old camcorder while downunder so spent more time with that than with stills, if I find a way of getting some of that footage onto the computer I'll put it on here.

In the galleries if you click on a picture JavaScript is used to open up a window at the right size but some people have said that this doesn't work on their browser. If this is the case then clicking on the description instead opens a full new browser window so doesn't look quite as neat.

Here are a couple of pictures of my boy's toys (it's not all just climbing!):
