This is my first post to say Hi!

I'm Andy Cole, I live in Flitwick, Bedfordshire, England and I've been into photography for about 20 years, although only really seriously since buying my first DSLR in 2004. Visiting other photography forums, for example Trekearth and Treknature, have allowed me to interact with other like minded people and also improve my photography greatly. I now consider myself as an advanced amateur. I do some photography as part of my work (I actually work in I.T. but am also the company photographer) and use photoshop on an almost daily basis so I'm pretty advanced in that area as well, although I expect there's still more that I don't know about photoshop than that I do know!

This site looks great, not too big, not too small, it has a nice community atmosphere. I look forward to taking part.

Andy.
