I became interested by accident. Normally just a snapper, I never really looked at a camera other than for taking a few snaps of holidays etc.
Then about two years ago (when I was made redundant and found a job immediately) I decided to treat myself to a digital camers a Canon A75 powershot. Read a book about digi-photography and thought I acheived passable results. When I realised the limits of the camera I looked at upgrading to a DSLR as I am really interested in Landscapes. Having read the reviews of many DSLR's I settled on the Nikon D70 after chatting with my local photo store who were really helpful.
I have now invested in a Sigma 70-300 D APO DG, and a x2 teleconverter.
At 47 and very active (lots of walking and Birding) I felt it was important to keep the mind active as well.
It has been tremendously enjoyable and have learnt so much. It is a very large learnibg curve and confussing at times but I can honestly say I am looking forward to improving and trying different styles of photography.
