I stopped taking pictures as a serious hobby around 1986 and didn't pick up a camera in anger for many, many years.
A few years ago whilst working for the NHS one of my tasks was to photograph new starters, (I chose to use a plain wall in a corridoor for maximum embarressment!), and create an ID card. This was undertaken with a Fuji compact.
On a long bank holiday weekend, I borrowed said camera and took it to the my parents house up here in the Lakes. At that time they had a Wren nesting by the back door. I was able to capture numerous images of the Wren feeding it's young.
I became instantly hooked and on returning home invested in a Fuji S7000.
Photography, for me now, is better and more interesting for being digital.
