Hi I'm Chris from Romford,Essex or Greater London depending how you look at it. I'm new to photography and still trying to get to grips with my Fujifilm S5800 camera that I've had for a while but only ever just used Auto mode. Ive just bought Digital Photography for Dummies book to try and get my head round using aperature,exposure etc. I love being outdoors be it Walking,cycling or occasionally fishing. I run two blogs for my walks and cycle adventures where I upload all my photos.But then I stumbled across this site and the pictures on here blew me away! So I'm hoping by reading the book and the forum I can improve and start some better pictures.

Welcome to POE from Anna and Ron, Chris. You will soon see that you are among like-minded people here. Always ready to help, without being 'cocky' because they have a bigger, better camera, lens etc.

A really nice, family friendly site, that as you say has some fantastic pictures submitted by the members. Enjoy it and join in here when you can.

Hi Chris

I can certainly reiterate Ron's sentiment that this is a friendly helpful place.  I love it here.  The photos are superb too.  I would love to hear more about your blog as i too love walking and cycling...not into fishing though. :-D

Hello newbie!

Glad to see you joining us here, and can't wait to see your pictures. The only way I can learn to use my nice camera is to just go out and shoot, shoot, shoot.

Visit often and join in the fun.

Hi Chris, I've found your blogs, and what great photos you have too.  

I love your experience in a glider, brilliant.  

I had a flight in a cessna for my 30th and it was an experience I loved and will never forget.
