Hi,

Big step for me as up until today my interest in photography has been an exclusively solitary pastime.

When the panic has subsided I'll post some images for comment.

Who knows, if you treat me well I might even pluck-up the courage to join the local photographic club.

Kind regards to you all,

Jon

Hello and Welcome to the Forum. I was introduced to my local club by a fellow PU member, after having met at the Whitby Goth weekend get together.

Welcome Jon.

There'a PU meet proposed at Bradford on Avon, date to be confirmed (see thread on this in Local Groups). Chance to swop notes with other users - far less scary than any camera club or evening class!
