Annoyed with myself for being unable to use the family camera, off I went on a 'moving from auto' day. Loving it I acquired my own used DSLR and began a beginners' course with BPS where I won a highly commended award at the end of course competition. My family, enthusiastic amateurs enjoyed taking part in the Bristol Festival of Photography in May '10, exhibiting at the Southbank, Bedminster. I love travelling with my camera and like to experiment with angles. I also love to paint, develop computer aided artwork and mosaic for friends and family, with firm belief photography gave birth to these relatively new interests. What must I have done before????
