I've been lurking and posting a few pictures on here for a while, but it's about time I said hello properly!
I had a few SLRs in my younger years, a Praktica and Olympus OM10 I think - the years have not been kind to my memory or hairline. I sold my gear back then to fund essentials like houses, food and motorbikes, but always regretted it. I currently have a D610, which I love.
However, I'm really suffering a total inspiration loss at the moment. Sometimes we all (as in the missus and 3 kids) go out and I always take the camera, but more and mor often come back without any photos at all. And even going out on my own to find inspiration, but still coming back with nothing.
So, I read a few forums, like you do, but it's so nice here - the people here are nice and there's never and gear snobbery or the usual forum arguments, it really does feel quite special here. And it's so nice just to look through all your photos to learn and find the inspiration I'm looking for.
Right, gotta go - out for a walk with the family and hopefully take some photos!
