A real newby

[Frieda]

I am a senior who has decided to delve into photography. I think as you get a little older you slow down a bit and see the beauty in so many things and I would like to try and capture some of it. My husband is a bit of a geek and knows a lot but it is all a bit daunting for me. I am looking forward to critics of my photos and applying the useful comments. I have a Canon 700d the 2 kit lens, 60mm macro and the canon 24-105. I really enjoy Macro and would love to do night sky. Thanks for listening.

Welcome aboard. See you and your photos soon.

Thanks Mary Anne for the welcome at least I know there is someone out there. I don't know that the husband is much of a help, because he gets a bit technical, and it all goes a bit overmy head. Besides I want to do it my way, make my own mistakes. As soon as I can work out how to post the shots I will load some. Thanks.

Welcome Frieda,
Good to see someone from the area on the forum. Nothing wrong in being a bit technical or a geek. Looking forward to see some photos.
