stranded_starfish's photostream

I'm a Wirral girl born and bred, and have returned to the nest after completing my Geography BSc degree at the University of Sheffield. I have begun working as a nanny for a local family in order to get enough cash together to travel in Spring 2010. It'd be great to hear of places to stay/visit in and around: East Australia, NZ, Tasmania, Venezuela, San Francisco and Toronto.

My interest in photography first sparked through watching my dad take photographs on family holidays abroad. He enjoyed explaining the intricacies of the physics of cameras to me when I was younger. I inheritted a few of his film cameras but a few years ago I managed to scrape together enough of my student loan to buy myself a Canon PowerShot A710 IS. Since then, I have invested in a Canon 400D, which is a great piece of kit. I have te 18-55mm kit lens and more recently the 75-300mm lens, which I'm yet to fully get to grips with.

In my final year as a student, I relished the chance to work for the University's student-run newspaper, Forge Press, which took me to all manner of events and introduced me to some great people.

A huge thankyou to fotowosch, who's kindness and creativity continues to astound me and who gave me confidence in the form of a Pro account. His photostream is always a delightful feast for the eyes and I would strongly recommend a visit.

Thanks for stopping by!
