About

Hi there - My name is Adrian - I live and work in the UK - home is in the West Oxfordshire Cotswolds and I am currently working in the UK.

For my day job, I am a data platform architect - the main specialism has been Informatica PowerCenter products, but covering so much more now in cloud computing (mainly AWS, but some Azure also)

One of my hobbies is photography - currently, I am using a Fujifilm X-E1 or X-A5 (more for video) using the stock XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS lens though I also have an XC50-230mmF4.5-6.7 OIS lens. More recently acquired an Opteka 6.5mm F3.5 fisheye (fully manual) lens (Nikon mount version with a Nikon to x-mount converter).

I used to do my post processing mainly in Lightroom (6.x) but now use Luminar AI, Affinity Photo or NikSoftware SilverFXPro (for B&W conversion) as required.
