About Lilahpops
Q: How do you pronounce Lilahpops? A: lie-lah-pops
Hi, thanks for stopping by. The main focus of this website is digital photography, which began as an interesting and pleasant diversion and has become quite a passion of mine. I was introduced to digital way back in 2005 when I bought a Pentax Optio S5i to use on an overseas holiday.
I also own a 1950s vintage Voigtlander Vito BL which doesn’t come close to being digital - not even battery powered - and a c.20 year old Pentax ME-F SLR. Using these cameras is like being thrown in the deep-end, or being without a paddle. They demand knowledge of basic photographic techniques and I have to say it’s a an exciting - and challenging - way to learn.
Share the fun
I began this website in May 2007 as a way to record and share what I learn about photography. As a photography hobbyist, I am always keen to learn new tricks, always experimenting … with varying degrees of success. This website also forces encourages me to become a better photographer and to further my knowledge so I can recite more than the Sunny 16, Moony 11 rule (among others) by heart …
The awesome photos I find on Flickr have also inspired me to delve into new post-production techniques.
One aspect of photography that took me totally by surprise was the online community. The generosity of knowledge-sharing, tips, advice and the general all-round good vibe is wonderful.
A bit about Anthea
The photo above was my submission to the Shoot Yourself Project at Epic Edits Weblog in January 2008.
I started out as an archivist and currently work in web design and development. When not taking photos or venturing into the absorbing, time-sucking, world of post-photographic production, I can be found stumbling around the internet, sipping soy lattes, eating chocolate and hanging out with my two British Shorthairs cats (they make the best photographic models).
I live with my very own chocolate maker/connoisseur/aficionado (how cool is that!) and might even share a few recipes here with you. If I didn’t, that would be selfish of me, wouldn’t it?
