Hello all,
I'm Paul from Essex.
I've never really taken many photographs, I've always left that to my partner, but the bug really hit me last December when I took a Hurtigruten cruise up (and down) the coast of Norway and was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on 4 of the days.
I really regret not having a camera with me as the lights and the coastline were so spectacular.
So... when I got back I went and bought my first ever camera.
Being a super noob, I bought more camera then I knew what to do with (Fuji XT-2 and kit lens), and sat there looking at it for a month trying to work out how it all works!
I watched as many youtube videos as I could and read a couple of books but all the information was just sailing right over my head. So I enrolled on a photography course with The School of Photography and am happy to say that I'm starting to get to grips with both my camera and the skills required to make a great photograph.
I joined here so I could soak up the group knowledge which is kindly being shared to continue learning.
Thanks for reading!
