1) I now use a Canon 400D with different lenses and tripod
2) I've been shooting for more than 30years now, started in the 70'
3) I'm an amateur
4) I shoot everything except people, I'm too shy for that. I prefer landscapes or buildings. The only people that I shoot are musicians, with my new digital camera I discovered the pleasure to shoot at concerts in poor light conditions.
5) I learned how to shoot in books, magazines and now on internet
6) I have plenty of boxes full of slides, shoe boxes full of prints, and now hard disks full of files. I print my best pictures for me and my friends, and I show them on woophy or other web sites. I like to spend hours photoshopping, I'm never fully satisfied by my pictures. Of course the best ones usually don't need a lot of post treatment, when the light is good you just have to shoot and print.
7) I started as a teenager when my younger brother bought a Russian Zenit Reflex and a small B&W lab. I never stopped since.

I open them in Microsoft Picture Manager and/or Picasa to crop, adjust contrast & light, etc. I select the best ones to upload them on Woophy.

Nothing in particular. I just discovered that I like to take pictures. And as I always state: photography is a brilliant invention for people who cannot paint or draw to release their creativity.

A thought-provoking topic ! My answers -
1) What kind of camera do you use ? At present, Sony Cybershot H5. Previously - Minolta Dimage S414, Canon EOS 600, Canon T70 , etc., etc.
2) How long have you been shooting ? Since I was 15 ( I'm now almost 65 ! ).
3) Professional, Semi-Pro, Amateur, Hobbyist, Artist ? Hobbyist, with some delusions of artistic grandeur !
4) What do you shoot ? Anything which catches my eye !
5) Where did you learn to shoot ? By trial and ( lots of ) error.
6) What do you do with your photos when you're done with them ? Now, I download them onto computer ( iPhoto : Apple imac G5 ) crop and manipulate ( colour saturation, exposure, cropped horizon, etc. ). Maybe, select a couple for Woophy. E-mail some to friends, etc. Previously, I either made them into slide-shows ( for viewing in Camera Clubs ) or albums of prints.
7) What got you started ? Realising that people taking photographs were rarely photographed ( I have always disliked having my picture taken ! ).[u][/u]
