Hi all,
My names Matthew and I'm a 29 year old tree surgeon from South Wales, UK. I'm keen to get into photography and I'm interested in landscape, close-up, B&W and still life - so a mixed bag really.
I use a Canon Powershot S5 IS compact digital camera. I did try to get the wife to understand that I
need (want!) a D-SLR and had my eyes on an entry level camera such as Canon EOS 400D or Nikon 40D, but she wasn't having any of it, dagnabbit. Looks like I'll just have to start saving up the dosh!
Anyway, I'm here mainly to get tips, advice, critique and feedback in order to improve my skills and techniques - which are, at the moment, very basic and limited. This site looks like agreat place to start.
Thanks for your time and may the genies of a thousand lamps grant your every wish!
