Hello from Italy

[justjo]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm Jo and although i am originally from SW London I now live in Bergamo (north Italy) 

 

I am very new to photography and am so excited about joining in the forum here and learning all i can.  

 

I guess i have always had a passing interest in photography but i only 'intentionally' starting taking pictures about a year ago. After moving to Italy with my husband I really struggled to adapt to life here and so, to try and get acquainted with the village where i live and  to make sure i left the house I would give myself a daily photo assignment and off i would go with my little iphone. Well, i completely fell in love with photography and the iphone quickly got traded for my point and shoot and, having felt i had outgrown that as well I treated myself my first entry level DSLR (a Nikon D3200) a couple of weeks ago.

 

I am now crazily trying to learn as much as I can about lighting and then will move on to composition so please be gentle with me

 

Like i said i am really looking forward to joing in and getting to 'know' everyone here.

 

Jo

Welcome Jo, I was going to attempt to greet you in Italian then saw you were originally a Londoner and breathed a sigh of relief.

 

This is just about the friendliest forum you could wish for and advice and opinions are always freely given (along with the occasional wisecrack) so sit down and get comfortable..

Hi Jo

 

I hope you enjoy.

All my Italian is gleaned from Inspector Montalbano (very big over here), so I'll keep quiet!

 

Welcome Jo.

Hi'ya and welcome, Jo - enjoy your time here

Bergamo...I know it well. I used to load weekly out of Stezzano and over the other side of the Autostado Torino-Triest at Treviolo. With the foothills of the Alps due north of you, you have plenty of landscape!
