Hey guys,

Just thought i'd drop in and say gday.

New member from Perth, have been into photography for about 6 months 'properly', but have enjoyed taking photos since i was a little fella. Recently (6 months ago) decided to take my pictures a step further and step into the big wide (expensive!) world of DLSR's! Wow... what a rabit hole I jumped into! haha

I bought myself a basic Nikon D5200, with the standard kit lens (18-55), as well as a telephoto (55-200 i think) and a prime lens (50), which I think covers most bases, and am just learning to use them as I go.

I'm big into nature and landscapes, which I think will be my direction, but I also photograph a lot of bonsai... which is actually what led me to upgrade my camera, as I didn't like the shots I was getting with my point and shoot.

I wanted to get in touch with more like minded people, which is what led me here :) So look forward to meeting you all and showing you some of my work!

Cheers
Jason

Thanks for the welcome!

That Libary is amazing! Big props to all who helped create that, as its a very useful read. Found it much easier to understand then most of the books I've read :)
