Welcome to ChrisGlobe.com, this is (as you may have guessed) the online home of Chris Globe, an amateur photographer and technophile from just outside Manchester, UK.
This website will not only showcase my aviation photography, but also my online portfolio of photographs and other media.
I would like to point out at this point that all views on this website are my own, and any opinions I make public should not be taken as fact, or in any way considered truth.
Currently I’m a website administrator, meaning most of my day is sat front of a computer ensuring a regional website with over 1300 members continues to function and is up-to-date. However, I also do rather a lot of other tasks, including publishing, photo and video editing and responding to technical enquiries.
A normal day could see my using any of the following software;
- Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Adobe Dreamweaver CS4/CS5, InDesign CS5, Photoshop CS5 or Premiere Pro CS5
- Microsoft Access 2007/2010, Excel 2003/2007/2010, Outlook 2007/2010, PowerPoint 2007/2010 or Word 2003/2007/2010
At home have a custom-made PC with an Intel Core i5-2500k, overclocked to 4.2GHz, nVidia GTX560Ti 1GB overclocked and 16GB RAM, as well as an Acer 5742 laptop with Intel Core i5-450m and 4GB RAM. Both run x64 versions of Microsoft Windows 7. When mobile, I have a 16GB Samsung Galaxy SII, running Android 2.3.5.
Finally, I have a Nikon D90 digital-SLR with Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro
