Hi, I stumbled onto this site by accident. I'm not sure what to expect but I'm willing to give it a go. I consider myself to be an "intermediate" level enthusiast. I'm keen to learn as much as I can to improve the hobby I love. I use a Canon 60D and have a selection of decent but not pro level lenses. I don't have a preferred type of shooting. I just love snapping. I love shooting my beautiful granddaughter and the rest of my family when they allow it. But also love getting out and shooting the sunset. I enjoy showing my shots to people I know but as yet haven't had the courage to show 'em on line. Be gentle with me.
Cheers.

Hey Wadooz, welcome aboard.
Good to see another Adelaide person amongst the ranks.
I'm just starting out in the photography world so feel free to share your experiences/thoughts to others as we're all here to help one another.
I look forward to experiencing your first online photos when you decide to share.
All the best.

Crikey that's a quick response! Thanks for the welcome, it's late now but I'll try and sort out a few shots I could upload sometime this weekend. Cheers. Wadooz.

G'day Wadooz.
Welcome to a good place to share, learn and help others.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, make comments and post those photos online. There's only a limited number of active members that can see your wonderful photos anyway.:) ;)

Thanks Mark L I think I've just managed to reduce a photo enough to be accepted. Not one of my favorites but it's a start.

Still just experimenting with reducing the file sizes. This one was shot at the Belair Conservation park on my 60D and my Sigma 105mm F/2.8 OS HSM Macro lens. Am I posting them in the right spot?

Not really Martin.;)
Scroll down to the Constructive Critique- Members Photos.
You're new here, so you can post anything in the New to Photography CC (Beginners) for a while.
Otherwise there's the Places (Land and Sea Scapes) for your first photo and Nature (Birds) for the second.
You'll get more feedback and help posting photos there.
Like the pelican. Not sure that it's over exposed, probably needs to have that exposure reduced and highlights pulled back in PP.
