I've been taking pictures since I could hold a camera, and think my first was a 110 of some kind.
Also had a 126 dilm camera and eventually various 35mm cameras from Praktica and Canon.
Can't remember my first digital camera, but it was around 1998 and I think a Casio.
A succession of compact digital followed until i got my first dslr in 2006 - an EOS350d.
Updated that to a 600d in 2012, and then in 2014 decided to go for a radical change and swapped all my Canon gear for the current Olympus Micro Four Thirds equipment as I was getting fed up with lugging a big bag of equipment round!
Impressions so far is that it meets or exceeds what the Canon was capable of.
Subject wise, I find things to photograph. Main subjects have been vehicles and planes of one sort or another, but also like macro photography, especially flowers.
Only subject I haven't really tried is people or 'street'.
Always happy to talk photography, cameras or the subjects of my pictures - which can be seen on my flickr page in my signature.
