Greetings from Northamptonshire

[DavePerkins]

Hey everyone,

I've spent a little time today trying to find a photography forum which is small and friendly and I hope this is it.... anyway, on with my introduction.

Once upon a time in a land far far away..... 

My name is Dave Perkins and I got into photography taking pictures of my Siberian Husky, Kodi. I live in Northamptonshire and as everyone else, I'm always learning. I'm going to explore the forum a little and you should see some of my pictures and posts popping up soon!

These are a couple of the pictures, taken on my phone of Kodi, that really made me decide to invest in a DSLR (Nikon D5200 was the choice)

I fell I have developed my skills since then and now use a lot less vignetting lol. Here are a couple of my more recent pictures

I inherited this shire, I was in Buckinghamshire until 6 weeks ago :)

I inherited a pair of dockers just after they were broken in, missed them when they wore out 

[DavePerkins]

One thing about inheriting things... More things to photograph!

Welcome to the forums  Dave! And the doggie pictures after those first 2 show a massive improvement - you're obviously a quick learner!
