I think I've always liked photography, and back in March this year I got a Panasonic FZ18 - love the zoom on it, 503mm lol.

I've decided to upgrade my kit and am currently saving for the Nikon D300 and a few lenses.

Software I use:

Adobe Photoshop CS3

Adobe lightroom 2

Photomatrix Pro

(I try not to edit them too much, just a drop shadow, crop and small mess abouts, nothing major)
