Started this ridiculously difficult activity as a potential replacement for golf which I may need to give up. And I thought golf was difficult. Don't get me wrong I am loving this, but theres so much to remember.

Seeing the immediate result of what you try is the exciting part even though sometimes you take a shot and think "what the hell did I do wrong there?", funny enough, just like golf!

Bought a Canon 550D and a Tamron 70 - 30mm lens (now u/s) and went from there. Still an awful lot to learn, obviously, but the advice etc you get from looking at others images and comments received goes a long way to improving your own.
