I've always loved taking photos, at parties or occasions it is always me with the camera in someone's face, 'preserving memories'.

More recently I have been shown the joy of photography for photography's sake, looking for/spotting a shot, GIMP-ing, and am now even learning to use a 'proper' camera!

Feel free to criticise, and feel free-er to compliment ;) All comments welcomed....

D'ya know, I genuinely feel the longer I've been taking photos, the less I know. I can see an improvement, but know barely more than the basics of what I am actually doing. I just change dials & buttons on the camera & snap away until I get what I want (sometimes). I feel like a bit of a fraud :p
