I'm Cath, and I'm a keen amateur photographer based in London, UK.
I work as a 3D character animator by profession, but my relatively new and very obsessive passion is for photography.
I bought my DSLR in August 2018 and was immediately hooked. I'm lucky to live close to a beautiful London park, and I go there regularly to shoot. For me it's a way to relax and unwind, plus I get to witness some beautiful sunrises.
Big thank you to @kiers and @intrepidphotos for introducing me to this platform, I'm very excited to be here!
Hey Cath! I found your intro thanks to @steevc's reblog - always cool to connect with another shutterbug! I'm sure @kiers and @intrepidphotos will help you learn the ropes, but feel free to shout out if you have any questions - there are lots of awesomely helpful people here on Hive! 😊
And I love the wicked spooky & mysterious vibe of that first photo - well done!
Hi Traci! Thanks for the welcome. It's going to take a little while figuring all of this out, but it looks like a cool platform. Definitely lots to learn!
Really glad that you like my photo! 😊
Great to see you here Cath ; the best place to hang out is in the communities. Hope you find your niche here.
Thanks Robert! Good to be here. Cheers for the tips, I will be sure to do that. :)
Welcome to Hive! Lots of photographers here and plenty of people around London. I hope we will have some meetups fairly soon.
Have fun.
BTW Don't worry about the downvote. Hive gives us freedom and some use it to be annoying, but it can't do real damage. Just be careful with your keys. Have them somewhere safe and never give them to a site you do not trust.

$PIZZA@cathgothard! I sent you a slice of on behalf of @steevc.
Did you know you can earn $VFT through the PIZZA farm? (3/10)
Thank you for the warm welcome Steve! And for reblogging my post. I'll be honest I'm feeling a bit like a rabbit in the headlights as I'm not exactly sure how everything works yet. It'll get easier I'm sure. Thanks for the pizza too! (I'll have to look up what it is!! :)
Have a look around some of the links people have shared with you and feel free to ask questions. There is a Brits discord where you will find some people to chat with.
I definitely will do that. Thanks so much for the advice. I wish I wasn't so busy at work - I could use some extra time to get to grips with everything!
Well take it slowly and find your way around.
EnjoyYep, I followed you from @steevc's recommendation and because I'm a former Londoner myself.
Hi, thanks for the follow! I'll have to post some city photos. I haven't taken many of London, but I definitely intend to.
I moved out of London over 40 years ago, although my accent is still there. Good old SE.18 Twang. 🤣
