Iv'e had my camera now since end of 2008 and 99 percent of my photo's are handheld, i enjoy taking photo's ive never had a hobby as such so this is my first hobby if you like.., i dont get out much with my cameraa as i work long hours in fact i havnt been anywhere with my camera since my holiday in scotland last july and must say i miss being out with it, but with only one day off work a week and trying to do house up to sell (or trying at least ..lol ) its hard to get time anyway i hope people enjoy looking at my photo's as much as ive enjoyed taking them, 90% of all my pics are taken handheld as im always forgetting me tripod..lol
