Sometimes I need that kick up the Ass to get myself out to take photos and I feel having someone or a group of people to go out taking photos with occasionally might be good. So if anyone in the UK would fancy going out or getting a group of people together to go out it would be great to hear from you. I can usually be found in the thumbshare chat room or you could send a note through here. :)

Well it had been a while since i had used DA more than once in a month and then *BANG* i seem to be hooked on it again...this always happens to me, i seem to be hooked on it in dribs and drabs...not a constant flow of 'hookedness' (yeah, that is a word..for today anyways). It's been great to get loads of support, comments and faves..a BIG thank you to you all.

Well after getting my camera I finally had a day to experiment with it and see what i can learn from it. I recently bought some filters as well, Hoya R72 infra red, Hoya Cir polarising and Hoya graduated grey filter. I decided to go to Alton water, it's a resovoir quite close to where I live. I spent about 5 hours walking around spending a lot of time photographing a few things, really taking my time with settings, still the majority turned out too dark to be used and i hadn't noticed a mark on my filter which showed up pretty badly in most of the shots. Its still a big learning curve for me though switching over to DSLR and using filter
