Hi I'm Nick

I come from a science background and now work as a software developer (as so many do).

I became interested in photography via a friend (Fred255) and from buying a dslr for doing astronomy stuff (another interest). I soon discovered the joy of using the camera for its intended purpose. I then started to leak cash.

I admit to being a bit of a camera geek. Discussions about lenses and sensors get me all excited. Equations and diagrams are even better (science background coming out) :-)
