a printer by trade. new to photography, with a keen intrest in our feathered friends. i also happen to suffer from ankylosing spondilitis( rheumatoid arthritis of the spine). this can hamper my decidedly amature photography quite severely on occasions. any tips would be gratetly appreciated. I really do love taking pictures though and it has proved to become an overwhelming passion.It really has given me a fresh view on the world and a whole new perspective on life. I suppose its akin to getting back the view of the world I had as a child and I find myself looking at things now as I did then. Its also important to me as it stops my being thrown back down in to the pit of despair I found myself in shortly after having been diagnosed with AS. A beautiful sky holds meaning again now. I no longer feel as though Im staring down in to a dark hole. Everything is more than it was its like the world has been turned up to 11 !
