We've got a Nikon J2, just never use it! Would that be any good to start with or would I need something better?

You could start photography with a disposable - makes no difference. It's about getting out there and just getting some pictures. Best piece of advice I was ever given, especially if you're shooting a subject - think like you have film and every picture counts and costs. Taking a thousand photos of something at different angles usually leaves you with a thousand picutres of stuff at a boring angle. Find yourself a subject and capture it in the most interesting way possible. EDIT: Oh and never be scared of getting up close to the subject.

Good quality advice this! Another tip would be don't get too stuck in a rut shooting the same sort of thing all the time, try and mix it up a bit, keeps things interesting.
Glenfinnan Viaduct 1987 - behind a big throbbing Diesel (type 37 ?) - there was a steam special on that day and I do have a pic 'somewhere'
Same trip - Ben Nevis I am trying to sort my photobucket library into some sort of order LOL So am just posting some random shots as I sort into files Foreground is an Airship Mooring (tie down) Block - Background are the 2 Airship Hangars at (ex) RAF Cardington,Beds The fence posts are normal height so gives some idea of the size of the block.
A trip to the outer hebrides some years ago - along one of the most 'interesting' roads I have ever driven on (B887)
Huisinis Beach in the distance behind my old Vectra 2.0 Di The road went right past the main entrance to this Castle (now an upmarket B and B lol)

Wow, that photo of the Glenfinnan Viaduct in 1987 is so amazing, I was 1 year old then!!
I absolutely love seeing old photos. 10, 15+ year old photos, older the better. Just love it! This is one of the main reasons I love photography this much, I hope to one day look back on my own photos and admire them in years to come! This is a photo I took of it on my trip up there 2 weeks ago On bank holiday Monday I went up to Rockingham Speedway to take some photos of my buddies drifting

Yeah old photos are fascinating - the glenfinnan pic was taken with my old Ricoh compact 35mm camera which I mostly used for gliding pics ! This one I took at 45mph with my 5 year old sony ericsson phone - it has an 8 megapixie lens and always takes great shots sometimes Lochan na Achlaise with the peaks of Stob A'choire Odhair in the background

Nothing spectacular as keep forgetting to take charged batteries out with my camera!! So have to put up with the amazing work phone (galaxy s3 mini) best i've got with it.
Few macros when i was at work a random bug wanted to have a look around my satnav. Passing Jodrell Bank again working so thought i'd stop seens as the weather was decent best i got was this with a birdy in mid flight. Then took the dog out to the beach by mine and kite surfers were out. On way to work again and passing the docks were my mates dad has a classic car garage (behind the boat). Last set another day out withthe dog at Llandudno. Like mentioned to take more than one shot, well it just looks like a photo bomb with the dog trying to take off.
