Hi Guys Nice to find this site. Have to say I'm a total newby to the hobby.
I am retired, an ex Textile Consultant. Live in the Lancashire area. Interests include DIY, Gardening, PC, and now Bird watching.
I hope I can learn much from my time here and very much looking forward to it. High Regards to one and all, BrianB.

Welcome to the forum Brian, good to have you here.

***ladylouise62*** · 14-06-2009

Welcome Brian - we have some quite knowledgeable people here, some fantastic photographers... and then the rest of us

I'm still learning, and learning a lot from others here - so again, welcome.

*** I just spotted that you use a Finepix. I used to use a Finepix S7000, and Rolf used to use a S5000 - and we were both quite happy with them. I still love my Finepix for Macroshots.

Hi Neil, Yes you are not too far away. I'm in Accrington ( of Stanley fame ),

I was actually married form an address in Helmshore. Got married in Haslingden and stayed with a friend in Helmshore overnight the day before.
The house as I remember it, ( Long long time ago ) was near where the Holiday Company had their business.
Cheers M8. Nice to know you're there. Brian.
