A hobby shared

[ped]

Hi guys

I've been a keen photography enthusiast for the best part of 7 years now, which may not seem like very long, but it's fair to say I've always been interested in the visual arts.

Recently I moved into a house with my girlfriend and she's gradually been worn down by my constant camera chat. I noticed she had a good eye for composition and interesting subjects when I looked at her photostream (all pics taken with iPhone).

Well, she's now started to use my R-D1 and is getting very good! I've been teaching her about the basics, and the R-D1 is a good camera to learn with. We went to a wedding recently and I took my OM1 and she had the R-D1. She took a total of 30 images and this was our fave:

I did the post (We'll talk about that later!!) but really we try and do as little as possible on that front.

It's really great to share my hobby. Hopefully it'll develop in her and become something we can do together - and she can tag along with me on my photo adventures.

I just wanted to share - do check back in a month or so and see how long it lasts!!

Cheers
Chris

But who is going to cook and clean the house if both are into photography? 🙂

I recognized first picture, btw 🙂

I've been trying the same, but with somewhat limited success 😀

She likes her small M43 kit (GM1, 12-32, 25 1.4 and 17 1.8), and will go so far as to take 2-3 lenses on trips, but she doesn't actually pay much attention to what she's shooting, and leave the processing and sorting to me...
