# trail and error?
is that a deliberate landscape photography gag?

# No, that is my head not working
Due to me smoking yesterday and a bit today

# Well I've mostly done things by trial and error
I did photography at college and gained an A+ in GCSE photography but had to drop out due to lack of cash before I completed the A-level part and thus go onto University for a Higher National Diploma and then onto bigger stuff - so for much of my adulthood I've had to live rather frustrated by not being able to fulfil my dreams :( This in some small way compensate but can never replace my lack of career options.

# do you flickr?
as I've just started into all this malarky for a hobby, I'm keen to see what other b3tans who enjoy photography take snaps of, to give me inspiration

# Not yet
I don't have as many photos as I would have liked to share on flickr. I might set an account up - but my main problem is getting out to places to take photos because at the moment James isn't too well with his pancreatitis and I seem to be working most of the time. But I will endeavour to make more trips out.

# there's always indoor shots
I've been playing with setting up small scenes for macro shots etc. (Poker set ups: cards, chips, whiskey etc)
Mind you, those ones have yet to be uploaded to flickr. At the mo, it's all big cats, quays, ducks and landscapes

# If I can't get out because of the weather, I play about doing set up shots and playing with the settings
I want to have a go at some portrait photos, It is just finding someone who is up for it.

# I actually bought a camera, wanting for ages to get one and do some decent photography.
So far I took some photos when it snowed, and that's it for the whole 4 months I've had the camera. The sum total of five photos on my flickr account.

# I look forward to seeing your photos
Also any suggestions you can give me would be welcome

# Get a good DSLR and invest in some good lenses
I like Nikon but Canon do excellent cameras too and the Sony camera is pretty damn good for it's price. But ownership of a DSLR isn't important as there are a lot of very good compacts out there, but being as DSLRs are pretty cheap thesedays and if you like do different styles then being able to change lenses is good.

# I am going to get a DSLR next year, need to save and work out what I want
The camera I have got is a good one start out on, it is one below a SLR camera and you can get some great shots from it.
