Wow! This is a sophisticated forum! I look forward to getting to know my way around and learning a lot. I'm fairly new to photography but have read a fair bit online about the theory. So, I'm long on enthusiasm, and VERY short on experience.

I have a 5D Mk III, 50 f/1.2L and 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM and love both lenses. One day I would like an ultra wide and something for Macro shots, but first I need a good tripod and perhaps a couple more flashes for indoor photography. I'm interested in studio shots (specifically furniture), and general landscape, architecture and my family! I've got a lot to learn!! Thank you.

Warm regards,
LuckyDuck

G'day LuckyDuck.
You've found a good place to play and learn.
Once you figure this place out, don't be afraid to ask questions, make comments and generally get involved. 'tis what makes forums work.
The members challenges can be fun and keep up interest when photo mogo is a bit down.
See you around AP, hopefully.

Maybe have a look at the New to Photography (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showlibrary.php?title=Indexes:New_To_Photography_Book) book and the Learning Plan in the book.

Hi LuckyDuck, and welcome to the forums

A great set of gear to start with, and yes, I also find this forum a little confusing, and still do. XD

Nonetheless, lots of learning available from here
