Saying hello

As I've recently purchased a K7 I thought I would join this forum to pick your brains! I've dabbled with photograohy for many years but never became really proficient - but with the K7 I want that to change. I live in the Highlands of Scotland and have recently started work with Cairngorm Mountain Limited as a health and safety officer. Interests include motorcycling, ski-ing, Renaissance and Pre-Raphaelite art, and Victorian poetry.
Beware the whitevan man!

As you use a Pentax, live in God's Own Country, and like the Pre-Raphaelites, I'll overlook the "Elf" bit and say welcome to the forum!

As George says, though. Living in God's own country will give you lots to photograph.
