I first realised I had an interest in photography in summer 2006, when I was buying a new compact and decided on a Panasonic LX1 because it had full manual controls. That camera allowed me to experiment more, but I didn't get any more 'serious' until I started university in Sep '07 and joined the photographic society.
I learnt more, and purchased my first DSLR, a Sony A200 back in November 2008, but sold it 3 months later for a Canon 40D (I preferred the handling and controls, and after researching the lenses I thought Canon would be the best option.)
I don't really have certain things I shoot, it's purely a hobby at the moment. At uni, I cover events and have also got into gig photography about 6 months ago.
And that's my story so far!
