- Carol started photography like many others with a Kodak Brownie 127. As a teenager she upgraded to a Voigtlander Vito B (both of which are still in our loft and probably still operational!).
- When Carol's first marriage broke up, in 1978, and she first met Clive, her photography had become swamped by the resposibilities of becoming a single mum; although she did borrow one of Clive's Nikon FTns occasionally. Later she enjoyed using a Ricoh KR10 Super (still on the shelf and working) and later still one of the pair of Ricoh XRXs that Clive had started using.
- In 2001 Carol and Clive took their first foreign holiday, 4 days in Copenhagen and Carol had a go with the family's "new", Fuji MX-2900 Zoom digital camera and her interest in photography was reborn!
- The success of Carol's digital images from Denmark provoked an upgrade to her own Fuji 6900, in time for a trip to Amsterdam, with which she took some excellent photos! But, as you may have seen in Clive's biography; Carol's enthusiasm for photography had started to accelerate and she decided that Clive's new Fuji S1 Pro together with a Tamron 28-200mm (since sadly broken!) and Tamron 90mm Macro were just right for her style of work!
- Which was correct because she had many "placings" as a beginner at the Winchester Photographic Society monthly print and slide competitions and several acceptances for the WPS annual exhibitions
- Carol now, very successfully, uses a Nikon D200 with an Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G IF ED VR, together with a Nikkor ED 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D VR, and the old Tamron 90mm Macro lens.
- Fujifilm S1 Pro with Tamron AF IF LD 28-200mm f3.8-5.6 fitted and 90mm Macro
