fast forward a few years to the birth of digital and the lad was a teen at the time I realised that this was fascinating and combined with interest from the lads at work I got my first digital camera it took digital pics had no memory card or screen so very hit and miss about 0.5mp if I remember , chopped and changed a few times and found a niche photographing coins and artefacts for the lads in the metal detecting club by this time having progressed to a 3mp spy type camera with 1 cm close focus .
then a holiday to Egypt and the chance of diving in the Red Sea saw me getting a underwater housing for a 4mp canon compact I had at the time . totally loved it but still no itch.... however I did take photos of some of the birds on the beach (feathered ) and when I posted one with the wrong name it got me investigating further that was it I was hooked ... little did I realise how specialised it was and how much I would spend over the years on a hobby
