Hi All
I'm a 40yo guy from Brisbane. I have been interested in photography to varying degrees since the mid 90's starting with a cheap full manual SLR. I then graduated to an Canon EOS50 SLR.

I jumped to a Digital 300D in 2005 and upgraded bodies through a several versions. I then put the camera away for a while and focused on some other hobbies including electronics, playing with Arduino, metalworking.

In 2011 I got a rescue kitten called Layla (<-- My avatar) https://www.flickr.com/photos/macroadventures/12866929283/
My interest in photography took off again wanting to photograph her, so I bought a Canon 70D and updated all my lenses. I also took the leap to go to an L lens something I decided not to do before since I was not "professional".

I'm currently committed to changing from a "gun and run" or perhaps "spray and pray" to a more measured careful photographer. Something that's not easy since I'm an somewhat impatient person.

Lol with all that spraying, I'm sure one of the shots will answer your prayers. But aiming always does wonders ;)

Welcome to the forum and I hope you'll find it beneficial.for you
