I have always taken lots of photos -using whatever basic camera I owned, mostly for recording memories. I bought a Canon Powershot S3 IS in 2006. Early 2009 I did a photography course and discovered a side of my camera I had yet to use. Then I bought a Canon EOS 450D and contined experimenting and trying to develop a photographic eye. As the years passed I upgraded to a Canon 7D and some extra lenses. I love taking photographs and am seldom without my camera.
