My Grandad gave me his Pentax P30n when he got a new camera. I loved it and was instantly hooked at 12 years old! That camera really got me interested in not just photography but nature as well and I joined the Young RSPB soon after! I don't think I fully understood all the technical aspects back then but I certainly enjoyed going out and taking pictures of anything that interested me!
