Hi everyone

Aaron here from good old Western Sydney. I'm quite glad I stumbled across these forums, it's hard to talk about photography to non-photoheads :) I've always been interested but only recently had the capital available to invest in a decent camera. I'm a young guy in IT and pick all sorts of technical stuff up quite easily because I love learning how things work at a very low level.

I'm interested in all aspects of photography but lately have been shooting a lot of baby photos of my 8 month old son, partly because of time constraints and partly (ok mostly) because he's damn cute. I haven't really had the chance to take many landscapes/cityscapes yet (oh the joys of parenting), but I did take some decent shots in Melbourne CBD on a recent trip. I'll post those in the appropriate place at a later stage.

I guess only having a DSLR for ~7 months technically makes me a beginner :) Current kit consists of a Canon 60D, Canon EF 35mm f/2 and Canon EF-S 17-85mm USM f/4 - f/5.6. I still have a lot of gear to buy but I'm doing fine with what I have so far. I'm sure you guys (and girls) know how it feels, you're always dreaming of the next purchase hehe.

Nice to meet you all

Fantastic name Aaron (It's my name too. None of this Arron or Aron nonsense!) haha.

I use to live about 1/2 hour away from Blacktown when I was growing up (near Richmond).

Welcome aboard!
