Hi from Glen waverley

Hi guys,

Just a quick intro about myself. I've been happy snapping for the last 5 years or so but just family stuff and life in general. I've been a bit slack lately taking photos but I'm getting back into it, hence joining this forum. I've got a Canon 50D and a few lenses, 50 mm, 100mm macro and a my general purpose 18 mm - 200 mm. I'm still a beginner and still figuring out what I'm doing most of the time but I really enjoy it.
My main passion is the Martial Arts and self protection but I also really like photography and need to marry the two.

Thanks guys,
Jim

Hi there Jim and Welcome to AP.. You class yourself as a beginner and you have been shooting for five years. We are our own worst critics :D
Best you hang around here and start posting images on the Forums for cc so we can give you lots of help and get you to your goal much faster.
