Hi all,
I'm very new to the world of photography and have had little interest/experience until very recently when I borrowed my mum's D200 for a family trip to France. I was hooked.
My camera history runs something like this. I did some black and white photography at school and have since only owned point a shoots, an Olympus XA-2, a Yashica T4 (all time favourite) then a series of disappointing digitals, most recently a Lumix TZ-7.
Today was the start of a new era for me - I received my first DSLR, a Nikon D5100, bought from a chap on a non photography forum (TZ-UK), and I'm now very excited about learning as much as I can from anywhere and everywhere. Which is why I have ended up here - loads of great reading and good natured banter - just the way I like it.
I work in brand design and I'm mad about cycling and wrist watches. So no doubt macro photography will feature at some point as I learn.
I'm based in south west London and work in town.
That's me, I look forward to contributing as and when I have something useful to add.
Cheers for now.
