Having retired, I found I was no longer able to drive my 1950's car. Motoring is not good for a back problem so I sold the car and bought my first DSLR; a Cannon 30d. I joined Newport Photographic Club 5years ago and Western Valley club 2 years ago. Club life has helped me a great deal as I have learnt so much from other talented members.
I gained my AWPF two years ago with much help from a club member, who I will not mention as he would not thank me for mentioning his name but he will know who he is. Other people who have gained the AWPF in the last couple of years will also know who he is as he will have undoughtably helped them too.
Photography has now become a big part of my life. I like nothing better than getting out with the camera - for me the taking of the photo is what I find pleasurable even if I never do anything with it.
