    Just a quick note to introduce myself to my first ever forum

    My name is Mike Atkinson and I live in the north west tip of Lancashire. I have been keen on photography for many years though always as a hobby. I originally used Pentax film cameras but Pentax seemed to loose their way after the MX/ME Super models producing some very mediocre cameras and so I shifted to Canon and have used them since. I shoot exclusively in the digital medium now, the darkroom and other medium format cameras have gone. If you don't use them they are just an expensive paperweight!
    I currently use a 6D,7D MkII and a 50D converted to shoot infrared. I have quite an arsenal of lenses collected over time so I won't bore you by listing them. I also have a small Canon M series camera with three M lenses for travelling light.
    I have had a go at most things but I really enjoy natural history, infrared which I have shot both digitally and on film and I do some landscape as well. I look forward to taking part in the forum and I may even load up the odd image when I find out how!

    Regards Mike

                    Thank's for the advice re loading up images, I don't use flickr so I guess I will have to look at that as well. By the way thank you for the kind welcome messages.

                    Mike
