Cats and Castles
Helen is my name. Live in Caerphilly in Wales with my son Jack who is now nearly 15. My other children have left and all have good jobs whereas Mum still struggles to make ends meet but I cheer myself up from the stresses of everyday life by my love of photography.

I was born in Shropshire and have also lived for a short period in Scotland where the photography opportunities were amazing with fantastic places such as Loch Lomond and The Trossachs now in my portfolio. Know I was supposed to write this in the 3rd person narrative but gave up after 1st line.

I don't consider myself as a pro or even a semi pro and I still have a lot to learn which is why I joined this site to get feedback and constructive criticism. I did a short course at college and want to take it further in September at AS level but haven't yet decided for sure. At the moment I am quite happy to snap away for the fun of it and enter the occasional competition.

My camera at the moment is a Canon EOS 400D which my brother kindly gave me. I recently bought a prime lens for it to add to the kit lenses provided. I took most of my earlier work on my Nikon D80 which I unfortunately no longer have and yearn for another Nikon one day. I first got into photography a few years ago with my good old Fuji Finepix point and shoot and I still take some damn fine pictures off it including a shot of Caerphilly castle which much to my amazement won me a 3rd prize in a Jessops competition Wales area section.

Anyway, this is all I can think of for now but may edit all this later. Thanks to those who were bored enough to read through lol x
