hi everyone, just a quick introduction, i have been interested in photography for quite a while now, i am using a sony a200 which i really like,

at the moment i am just tryig to learn my way around my camera
and just experimenting, i have 3 children and as soon as they go back to school after the summer i shall be knuckling down to learn a bit more.

I am also hoping to start a course at the open college of the arts so that should also help me improve.

i am looking forward to looking at all your wonderful work and becoming friends with you all
