Hi and thanks for popping in. I hope you like some of what you see, and if what you see reminds you of something you have in your portfolio, consider it the compliment I intended it to be.

Hi I'm Carole: I'm 52 and live in Sheffield, England.

I'm fairly new to photography and consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. I cut my teeth on a Nikon Coolpix 3100 which served me really well (and is sadly now no more) but have recently bought a Nikon D50. I was pointed in the direction of this site by a couple of other members, and am glad that I was: it's such a friendly and helpful place to be (so thanks, Tina and Jennn!).

I'm now coming up to my first anniversary of membership and in the past year I have learnt so much. I feel sure that the second year will be equally enjoyable.

To all who have clicked, commented, advised, shared some amazing images, passed the time of day via PM or simply made me laugh - thank you.
