I suddenly had this idea of getting a mirrorless camera and starting a (new) more serious hobby. I have taken photos for years, but not with a manual camera so I have a lot to learn. Starting a 365 challenge is keeping me focused as I have a different challenge theme/title every day and sometimes I find it difficult to find a shot or situation to satisfy the theme - but that is part of the fun! Covid and Lockdown has really affected me, and most of my early shots were all taken in my house or garden but I am now beginning to feel more confident to go further afield. I still feel embarrassed though when taking pictures where there are people watching me!

2026 Update: Cannot believe another year has passed so quickly and that I have managed to post a photo a day since I started. I have learnt a lot, but the challenge this year is to take on some more serious learning...and not just be a happy snapper.
