I'm a keen amature photographer from Weymouth in the beautiful county of Dorset, I began taking more photos after having completed a round the world trip last year. I took a kodak v705 with me as it is very compact and has a good wide angle lens for all the landscape shots. I also have a Nikon coolpix S1 which is a solid little compact but found myself needing something with more oompf, after much consideration I decided to go for a Nikon D80 and so got myself one at the start of the year! I was quick to begin playing with HDR and have enjoyed the interesting and rich results that are possible, I'm still getting used to using my first DSLR and would appreciate any comments and hints.
