I currently a 6th Form student soon to be sitting my A-levels with moderate interest in photography.

I've always been quite artistically minded, but have been hindered by the total inability to draw, so photographs and Photoshop are a great way of getting round this problem.

Currently I am using a Nikon D50 with a bog standard tripod and a couple of Nikon lenses (18-70mm and 70-300mm). With my recent discovery of HDR I can completely cheat and make some great photographs with really minimal effort. I'm also quite a fan of shooting in RAW because, whilst this isn't the best way of taking multiple exposures, it's ludicrously useful when travelling and you want a quick snap or you don't have a tripod.
