paul downing's photostream  

Hi,
Thanks for your visit to my photostream.
I uploaded my first photographs to flickr on 4th May 2009,it was to be a place to store family and holiday memories to share with family and friends.
It did not take long however before something began to happen.I looked at local flickr groups,like the Cleveland Camera Club and Peoples Republic of Teeside and saw some fantastic images.I wanted to have a go at this.A hobby was born.
Six months later,the hobby is an obsession.My Sony Cybershot replaced by a Canon SX10is bridge camera,and every spare minute spent taking photos or learning about taking photos.My eyes have been opened.I will invest in a DSLR before to long,but there is no rush,my SX10 is a fine camera.

About myself :-

I'm just an ordinary person,who's not sure how I'm 42 already.

Thats enough boring stuff.I'm really enjoying learning the fundamentals,I've met and made friends with some great people - on line and in person through flickr,who have helped and inspired me.Long may that continue.

Please have a look through my photostream,I would appreciate any constructive criticism to help me improve my photography - a pat on the back or a kick up the bum especially if delivered with humour.

I'm not a big fan of big graphic awards or invitations,however well meaning,they tend to hide the more useful critique.

Please respect my copyright.Thank you.
Feel free to contact me should you have any queries about any of my images.
