Cripes, looks like I may be a photographer after all!

In my introduction post I said I was new to photography, but I have found enough evidence to think otherwise. Looking through a old external hard drive I've found over 3000 pics all taken by myself on various mobile phones. Many are blurred, out of focus or just plain rubbish, but there are the odd few that are quite reasonable. If I'd had a decent camera some of these pics could have been cracking shots.

 

These pics are an insight into my life and interests; if there isn't a pub visible in the shot it means it must be just behind me! They also give an indication as to the type of camera I need; wide angle lens, good in low light and beer proof! 

 

This pic has a slightly hazy soft focus look, probably because I had my beer goggles on. My fiddle is third from the top!

What a fantastic set.

 

Do you have anything on YouTube for us to peep at?

They are a good set and give a nice sense of the atmosphere.

 

Pic #1, is for me the one I return to as the best of the bunch.

I have a Youtube channel but it's not worth the effort

Another criteria for a camera is good video. I got a cheap Vivitar video camera, it's so unreliable and flimsy to use it's unbelievable.
