i have been a member since march 2010 i'm quite new to digital photography but have been into photography since around the 1980s ,i got into it via a friend of mine who sadly is no longer with us but it was he who set me on the road to the world of photography , living on the beautiful isle of man where the isle of man tt races are held once a year and me being very interested in the bikes so it was them i focused my photo's on, i also had an interest in moon shots again via my good friend, then a little while ago i bought my first digital camera the s5500 but only really took pictures of family and the odd shot of landscapes,but lately i have found myself getting more and more into photography since the purchase of the s2000hd and then onto the hs10, and photography has become a passion of mine i still love to take shots of the moon but feel more into macro and birds or indeed any animals , always looking for that incredible shot as i am sure every member on this sight is ,one day it will come but until that time and it may never come but i will carry on enjoying my photography best wishers shaun
