I picked my first DSLR up in 2009, played with it for a while and....the passion faded away. Until I got myself a Canon 7D on Dec 23rd 2010 and reinvigorated my photography habit.

I am an amateur, self taught and always looking to improve - I appreciate tips and hints.

I'm still not at the level that I want to be but it'll be an enjoyable ride on the way there!
