Little Intro

[raysul]

Hello guys,
I live in west Sydney
Got hit with the photography bug, because of an overseas trip that I did with my wife a few years ago. Using a point and shoot camera was fine on nice sunny day or in a well lit room, but if it's not then the camera let us down terribly, the photos were not what I was expecting. So I simply wanted to learn how to use a DSLR before we invested in another overseas trip.
So I purchased a canon 60D with a 18-55mm lens, I simply wanted to learn how to shoot in manual mode so my pics were at least adequate to look at. Well that easier said than done, didn't realize how much there is to learn, now photography is my main hobby/enthusiast. I like to delve into landscape and portraiture with strobes, as I said the bug bite me hard :D
