I'm a novice photographer that's had a 'proper' camera now since late 2012, still very much in the learner phase.
I use a Sony a57 & try not to get too bogged down with producing 'perfect' images, instead I try to capture the mood or feel of a place or situation & don't sweat the details!
Don't have a preferred style, I just enjoy taking pictures & am trying to learn and improve my technique with each new photo.
