Hello all, I'm Alex.
Born and bred in Bristol, I first started taking an interest in photography quite a few years ago and got my first SLR two years ago - in the form of an EOS 400D.
I haven't had all the time in the world to spend learning the ins and outs of my camera, quite shamefully. I'd say I'm quite a competent post-processor (I've been working with photoshop for around five years), however my actual photography skills are relatively weak. I rely more on the post-processing to get the effect I want, rather than the actual photo-taking. With a gap year coming up and plenty of time on my hands, this is something I want to change. I really want to be at one with my camera and learn how to create stunning photos with my actual photo and not with photoshop.

I look forwards to learning from you all and hopefully making a few pals along the way?
