I'm a woman in my 40s who's recently discovered a passion for walking up mountains. Not so keen on walking down them (dodgy knees).

I've never been a photo-taker. But this is something I want to change. I've done dozens of walks on the spectacular Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania, for example, & not taken a single photo. Hmmm.

This is why I've had to mainly use other's fab photos to help me tell parts of my stories. But you photo-takers are inspiring (& moving) me. I have a good Pentax digital video camera which I don't know how to use. But my plans are underfoot to change that...
