Meg Walker In The Spotlight
I grew up helping my Dad take photos of buildings and he introduced me to "real" cameras pretty young. However, it wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I became actively interested in photography.
I think anyone who has dabbled with cameras for a period of time will have discovered that there are certain types of photograph that they particularly enjoy taking/creating. Personally I always come back to photographing birds.

For now, I'm enjoying practicing and playing with compositions and panoramas, including a little fun I have with a perspex sphere. I've also just upgraded to a full-frame DSLR, which I'm immensely excited about spending time with.
The only advice I would give is: if you enjoy taking photographs - make the time and get out there and do it (whether on a fancy camera or just a smartphone). Learn about what images you like creating and have fun creating them!
Oh and it's always good to actually USE the photographs you're most proud of - a printed calendar or framed print can be a lovely personal gift and also a nice little confidence boost.
