AboutSteve Pearson Expertise Try me for 35mm or darkroom issues. I am a professional photographer in Australia. I work solely in 35mm digital format, after 35 years of colour and monochrome film in many formats. I have darkroom experience and for many years belonged to my local camera club. I conduct photography workshops around the state on any and most subjects relating to photography and often judge photography exhibitions and competitions.
Experience I hold a Diploma of Applied Science in Forensic Investigation, with part of my studies involving photography. I spend most days with a camera and am into digital photography in a big way. I was given my first camera in 1965 and have not been without one since. I spent nearly 20 years as a forensic investigator with my state Police Force, and since retiring a couple of years ago have concentrated on commercial photography - especially weddings.

Question For a Forensic Science assisgnment I need to explain how various equipment can be put to use in an outdoor scene of crime, i know a little about the equipment but have just started the course with no previous knowledge of photography, can you please give me a bit of background information about uses of extension bellows, off-camera flash, slave flash and 50mm lenses in outdoor crime scenes. Thanks very much, Dan.
Answer Dan. This is one helluva question, and I don't want to fob you off. I could spend weeks telling you what you want to know. So - to make it easier for both of us, can I refer you to a great forensic site that will have everything you are looking for - and more. Log onto http://forensic.to/forensic.html. It's Zeno's Forensic Site. A great site.
Cheers,
