I Am Writing This Because...

Hello! My name is Matt Brown, and I live in the Cambrian Mountains in Mid Wales, part of the wonderful United Kingdom.

I am writing this blog as a means of trying to improve my photography with my Canon EOS 400D (or Digital Rebel XTi for the American market), by way of aiming to take one photo each and every day that I can honestly claim to be proud of. A photo that I am happy to publish on here, along with any random/technical/profound/philosophical comments on the reasons why I took the shot.

Hopefully by doing this I will be able to discipline myself into spending more time using the camera, developing an eye for potential images, and of course improving my proficiency with the camera itself. The pictures will not be of any one particular genre, and should eventually encompass landscape, portraits, sport and action and hopefully more. I also intend to improve my knowledge and use of filters, tripods and other aids.

Anyway, enough of my waffling on, I hope you find some inspiration from this blog as it grows, and I shall return tomorrow with my first photograph!

Hi Matt!

Found your blog on the DSLR User website. I have loved doing my Photo A Day blog (I think I might be the person you mentioned in the forum there). I've linked you to my blog, and will visit often!

Kind regards,
Anna.

Thanks Anna.

Yes I believe it probably was you who inspired me to start this blog. Appreciate your feedback, so thank you very much.
