AMODEST quote, below left, from one of the greatest photographers – Ansel Adams.

Yet while we cannot all be as brilliant as Ansel Adams, there is absolutely nothing to stop us from trying. With the summer upon us, it’s the perfect time for getting out and about, exploring beautiful new horizons, either at home or abroad.

Wherever we go and whatever we do, it is essential to carry a camera – a camera you understand, a camera you can use easily and quickly, a camera that you enjoy using and gives you all the beauty of the moment without fuss.

Ask yourself this question: Does my current camera do that?

Our guess is that for some of you the answer may be ‘no’, more than yes. D&P Photographic have been trading in Gosforth for over 23 years, providing friendly advice to all our customers, enabling them to select the right camera for their needs.

The biggest benefit of getting the right advice is that it saves you money. Getting the right camera, whether it’s a top end Nikon, superb Fuji or Panasonic Lumix, means you will not need to get a new one for years to come.

Though cameras are our passion, we also have a comprehensive range of services to complement the equipment we offer. From printing in store to image restoration, we can even transfer your classic old cine and video onto DVD.

If your passports or visas need pictures updating, wherever you are going to or coming from, we can do them all; UK, Dutch, USA, Indian, to name but a few.

So whether it’s sensor cleaning or full repair estimates, part exchange or selling your old gear, give us a try.

Visiting us could not be simpler. We are in the middle of the popular, bustling Gosforth High Street, with easy parking a few yards from our door.

There are many places to look at cameras these days but only one you can trust to help you make the right choice.

Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter
