I have just moved to Edinburgh from the Highlands and have been trying to use my camera more and more. I am self taught though have had some helpful pointers from a few people who are far better at taking photos than I am! I have only just been given a copy of PhotoShop and am amazed at the tools I now have at my disposal but have a long way to go before I master even the basic ones! I enjoy taking photographs of simple things but try to capture something unusual or different in the shot. Any hints on using PhotoShop or any other aspects of photography in general are welcome.
