I am a 46 year old mother of two (both adults now James 27 & Lianne 22). I have always enjoyed taking photos and going digital was the best thing ever. I am now learning to use my new toy, a Nikon D40 which I bought at the end of January. 2007 I know it will take time getting used to settings etc. but I am sure I am going to enjoy it. My young niece Jessica is usually willing to let me take pics of her although she can at times get fed up as her mum is also quite keen at taking pics too.
I love to see how photos can be changed using Photoshop and would love to learn more about the techniques used in Photoshop and also learn about digital scrapbooking, any help or advise would be much appreciated.
