Hi, I'm new here. I live in Cornwall (UK - I've heard there are Cornwalls elsewhere too!).
I've been into photography, to some degree, for almost forty years although, sadly, I don't seem to be getting any better at it
I probably take more pictures of our dogs than anything else but I'll take pictures of anything and everything.
My wife is from an 'arty' background and actually has a Degree in Photography but rarely indulges these days - having moved on to the Fine Art scene. I've had a couple of little exhibitions, purely for the fun of it and it's something I would encourage everyone to do. It's a buzz, albeit nerve-wracking, standing in the middle of a gallery surrounded by people who've come in just to look at your work (or get out of the rain, I supposeā¦).
Equipment-wise, over the years, I've used Nikon, Olympus, Leica (M & R) and now I'm back on Nikon.
Being from an engineering background, I have a great interest in the hardware side of things but, fortunately, any signs of Gear Aquistition Syndrome have long since worn off - that's not to say it wouldn't rear it's ugly head if I won the lottery, mind you, I do quite fancy having a go at digital medium format!
Have a great 2017
