In the Beginning

In the Beginning

I started getting into photography about 2-3 

years ago, to be honest at first i did not know whether i would like it or not.So i purchased myself a cheap DSLR, well i thought it was expensive at the time it was a Nikon D60 quite a useful introduction into the world of photography. the main reason i bought it was whenever i went anywhere with my Girlfriend she would always bring her point and shoot and to be honest i felt a little left out, it was an extra dimension to a day out or a holiday and i felt like i needed that. so the first trip we went on to test my new Dslr that literally came at the last minute was Italy. (i must admit i cut it a little close with whether to spend the money or not) This opened my eyes to what was possible, i mean i was a complete amateur at the time but the first few images i took i felt like a professional. To the above right you can see one shot i took on the first day of being there and i could not contain my excitement just walking around snapping aimlessly it was a Joy.

So as the holiday drew to a close i must of taken hundreds of images of many a random thing, but in the randomness you always find some gold or hidden gems and honestly this excited me, i found myself wanting more so i started planning my days out and walks around photography. it was a trail of different cameras and lenses and types of photography that leads me to Today from crop sensors to full frame mirrorless cameras, i hope that i can explain the things that gave me headaches and share some of my images with you to keep you interested along the way.
