My name is Jeremy Cooper. I live in Wolverton, "The First Railway Town", built in north Buckinghamshire next to the Grand Union Canal, half way between London and Birmingham. It is now part of the City of Milton Keynes.

I'm a retired BBC TV producer/director - I made documentaries (mainly on location worldwide) to accompany distance-learning Social Science courses produced by the Open University (based in Milton Keynes).

I now enjoy shooting and/or editing videos, and designing websites - but seldom for payment nowadays.

I've been a stills photographer since I was in my teens.

I shoot almost entirely documentary images, using available lighting and minimal post-production - I include conversion to monochrome in that!

For Blipping I use (since December 2021) my Pixel mobile (currently a 7A) - it's the 'best camera' because it's the one I always have with me! I enjoy processing shots using the Android editing app, Snapseed and other apps (thanks to Petralpa for urging me, by example, in this direction). On my lapotp and desktop computers I edit with Photos or Affinity.

I still have my Olympus OM-D EM-1 mark II, with the Oly 12-200mm zoom permanently fitted, and with an Oly 17mm, an Oly 30mm Macro and a Samyang 8.5mm fisheye in reserve.

Since October 2022  I have a Fuji X100V as well, and am hoping to persuade this to take over from my phone, at least some of the time.

Update: the X100V has now been replaced by an X100VI - I upgraded mainly for the IBIS!

You can see lots more of my photography on my oliophoto website.

My professional (video and web) site is here.

Thanks!
