Hey all :)

<p>Hello! My name is Claire, I'm from London, England and I'm new to the joys of DSLR photography! I have always been interested in photography but was limited to a point-and-shoot. Now, having borrowed a friend's DSLR, I'm officially hooked! Please please take a look at my photos and any comments are very gratefully received :)</p>

<p>Hi Claire...... Welcome to PN. This is an amazing site for you to learn about photography. Glad you're using a Sony. PN has a critique forum where you can post a specific shot for community comments/critiques and I would suggest you pose a specific question about the image to receive useable responses.<br />Enjoy PN<br />Regards</p>

<p>Grayham is right about using the Critique Forum. Also keep in mind that commenting on the work of others usually results in more feedback on your photos. Welcome to PN.</p>

<p>Hi Claire,<br>

Welcome to PN from across the pond!<br>

<br />We look forward to seeing more of your work. Looks like you've got a good start on the Macro and posting to your portfolio already.<br>

Best wishes,<br>

Jim J.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone, will bear in mind your tips! :)<br>
