Hi guys,
After reading "this may sound bad but..." I thought I'd better introduce myself!;)
I'm Steve, a medic living and working in London and I bought my 1st DSLR this month.
I've always loved photography and have had some decent hand-me-down film SLR's in the past but have never really known what I was doing! Hence I've signed up to the PP beginners course and I have to say it has really depressed me realising just how much I don't know! The plus side is that I'm loving learning about it all and the course has really inspired me to get out and take more photos just for the hell of it!
Looking at the photos people have taken here I have to say I've been blown away by some of them. A lot of people here claim to be amatures but to a real novice like me some shots look easily good enough to be Pro!
Like no doubt everyone here I have a manic work and social life so finding time to up load photos and reply to posts can sometimes slip down the list of priorities but I really look forward to learning from you all and if there’s anything I can help with I will. Admittedly the questions will probably have to be about the human anatomy or Arsenal football club if I'm to be of any use at all!
I haven't quite got to grips with the whole site and forum yet as I'm not really a forum sort of dude, so please forgive me if I come over rude or incompetent, only the latter is true!
Well enough of my inane rambling, I've been working like a dog since I bought my camera and apart from a few test shots of the cats, today is the 1st day I get to go out and see just how bad a photographer I am! Wish me luck!
Steve.
