Hi, My name is Tracy & I am a photography addict! I treated myself to a Cannon 1200D 15 months ago. Chose this type as good price for it's scope but mostly as Cannon's are light bodied. Weight of camera was very important to factor in. I have a neurological disorder which is basically a malfunction of my central nervous system that Neurologist believes will be maybe 20 more years research to know
how to control / help. I'm sick of meds that do not work & always have other side effects so apart from occasional Nefopam, valium for worst spasms, tens machine, turmeric....amazing stuff! Well, You just got to get on with it and I'm not a sit & do nothing kind of girl. Mobility is often restricted but getting out shooting makes me feel like have been somewhere and had a small adventure. Using my zoom from my car window substitutes a walk & I actually can go further with my image than I could with good strong legs. I have been so touched recently with so many kind comments from friends & family and also with finding work I am able to do increasing difficult ( Lost a job I loved recently as my limp became socially embarrassing to those I worked for although I was great at that job!). I also make jewellery out of old vinyl records and hope by doing that, a part time job that destroys my soul and perhaps selling a few prints to manage my life in a more sociable & enjoyable way with the freedom to lie down when needed, do some yoga...e.t.c. In 2017 I intend to learn more about the technical side of using DSLR but photos I have taken up until now have been shot from the heart and sometimes it is the mistakes that bring most joy, maybe due to the surprise element. A few friends recently have said that a lot of my images have a calm vibe. I hope some people visiting this page may feel the same way.
