# About me
Hello and welcome to the page of an amateur photographer :)I don't really class myself as an actual photographer, though! When a certain place or view captures my attention, often I'm inspired to take a photo. I like being able to convey my thoughts to others through a photo I've taken. I was never one of those arty people at school - give me a piece of paper and any art I'll produce is a complete mess!
I have always been into graphics and design - my job designing research project websites, to playing on Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop at home. I never actually owned my own camera until July 2010 when I bought a Nikon S3000 simply because I wanted something for holiday photos. For now, I'd like to say I'm getting by with it because I'm really focusing on practicing how to get a good shot. Hell, what am I kidding myself - if I had Β£300 or so I'd be onto a DSLR in no time!
The thing I do like about my S3000 is that it's super compact so it goes literally everywhere with me. I'm pleased with what I've been able to do considering i bought one of the most basic cameras there was. But yes, I do edit with Photoshop if I want a particular effect - like something I want done with LucisArt or in tilt-shift. Until I get a DLSR that's the only way I'll be able to spill my creative ideas into the exact type of photo I want. Anyway, feedback is definitely welcomed and I appreciate you popping in.
Enough about me, thank you for visiting my profile!
P.S, Webcam images will be favourites from my own work!

Like my mind having ideas that aren't feasible with the camera - or could be a better quality. Camera isn't the be all and end all though

That is true, but then most things are feasible if you put your mind to it, and can come up with an ingenious idea I wish I had a better camera when taking... well... all of my photos lol
