Photography is a hobby that I have RE-discovered. Having spent many years crawling about the UK with a 35mm Pentax MX and a stack of tripods and extension rings I'd had enough of carrying so much kit. Consequently I sold all my 35mm kit and bought a digital camera (a little Olympus C300 Zoom). However, after using it for several years, I had the urge to use better equipment again to regain more control over what I can produce.

Having received a small sum from the war veterans agency in 2006 I bought myself the Nikon D80. I'm absolutely loving it although there is lots to learn about the camera
