Newbie here

[Going Downhill]

Just joined today. I live and work in Canberra ACT. My main photographic interest is mountain biking - I ride and photograph Cross Country and Downhill events in the Canberra region. Some of my photos are used by local bike shops that support and sponsor riders. Other than bikes, I enjoy landscape and portrait photography - quite often B/W and will normally be out before sunrise of a weekend to get the light.

Looking forward to my time here and interacting with other members with interests outside my own current interests.

I shoot with a Canon 7D and have a bunch of the usual lenses including 70-200mm f/2.8L USM, 70-200mm f/4L IS, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. I also shoot with the Fujifilm FinePix X100. And just recently, I have spent a deal of time trying to master off camera flash photographing mountain bikes going past at about 50kph!

Thank you very much Rick. I've been made to feel very welcome already. I'll be posting shortly - just coming to grips with sizing and once that's sorted, I'll be away I think.

Best regards,

David

Covers the size and linking photos.
Or do you need help getting the file size down to what's required?

Mark,

Have the Kb size sorted - just the physical dimensions. I edit in Elements 7 (Lightroom on the way) and I am trying to change the default. Thanks for the link - won't be long now..........

Where on the other side of the hill are you?
