You are so right about digital photography ---anyone can be an expert.
I spent hours in my darkroom for years-and was happy to do so. Really never thought I would become a digital fan, and swore I never would ,
but now I am hooked, not quite as good as I was with film but I am getting there. And of course -what value for money ! and the instancy of it is overwhelming.
I have also belonged to a club for 24 years and now belong to 2 more including a new one which started in The Exhall Old School Community centre last month
17 people turned up with various amounts of expertise --or none at all.
2 ladies had their cameras still in the box.
At the 2nd meeting last week 15 turned up with 2 new people and 3 apologies from ones on holiday -so it hopefully will go from strength to strength.
You are so right too about what is here to see. This is a lovely exciting time of the year -everthing is beginning again, all we need to do is open our eyes and look at what we see- not what we think we see.
I love this country, I remember once going to Ibiza in March -and pining for the Yorkshire dales instead. All that GREEN.!!!
