About myself
Taken in Istanbul in March 2008.
Taken in Istanbul in March 2008.

I'm David Iliff, a 28 year old Wikipedian from Melbourne, Australia but currently living in London, England.

My interest in photography leads me to contribute mainly in the form of high quality photographs to add to articles.

I generally use a program called PTGui to stich panoramic images and a plugin called Smartblend which usually gives better blending results than Enblend or the built in blender.

My photographic gear:
