Hello!!
Having strayed from photography (other than point and shoot) for many years I recently saw fit to jump back into it with my purchase of a Nikon D5100 and 18-55mm VR lens.
Times sure have changed since my days of 35mm film. I started taking pictures as a young lad, interested in black and white photography and influenced by Ansel Adams. My dad and I took to many days out shooting film, me with my Canon T50 and my dad with his twin-lens reflex camera. I learned how to development my own negatives (many an afternoon spent in the bathroom with a towel firmly wedged under the door) and the developing of our own pictures with a darkroom and enlarger in the basement. Good times!
I'm somewhat excited to get back into the realm of photography and I hope to remember what I have learnt from many years ago. Right now, I'm interested mainly in landscape and wildlife subjects and have little interest in software editing. It may be a tad naïve of me but I'm hoping the photo's I take with my camera and the composition of the picture are enough without the need for Photoshop or something similar.
Hopefully that's a bit of insight into myself. I'm keen to learn as much as I can from here and look forward to what Australain Photography has to offer.
Cheers,
Bill
