Hi ausphotography group!

I've come across this forum group from a few recommendations from a different Australian forum.

I'm a fairly new photographer who has had a several severe cases of G.A.S and would now like to start using my gear more frequently!
As such, I'm now starting to bring my camera everywhere with me in hope of just taking more and more shots to become a better photographer.

My kit is a Canon 6D with 35mm F2 IS, 85mm F1.8, 70-200mm F4 IS.
I bring the 35mm & 85mm with me everywhere and only use the 70-200mm at outdoor family gatherings/events.

Look forward to contributing around here!

Cheers,
Andy

Hi and welcome, Andy.
Good moves you describe. Take, post, receive feedback, comment on others and...
enjoy AP. You will find lots of info in the Library, and you can enter some competitions.

G'day Andy, welcome to a good place to improve your photography (That happens if you get a little involved ;)).
If you need something to focus :rolleyes: on each week then it's never to late to get involved in the weekly members challenge ..... http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?190-Member-Challenges-52-2015
Gives me a reason to think about and take photos each week that I would never do otherwise.
See you around AP hopefully.:th3:

Thanks for the warm welcome all! I might have to submit old photos for C&C/competitions as I haven't had much time lately to go shoot with the little one almost turning 1. I find that most of shots these days are of family and friends, exploration time has significantly gone down.

Before settling on the existing kit, I've previously owned:

50D, EOS-M
Sigma: 17-50mm F2.8, 10-20mm F4-5.6, 30mm F1.4 ART, 50mm F1.4 (non-ART)
Tamron: 18-270mm PZD VC, 70-300 VC, 24-70 F2.8 VC, 70-200 F2.8 VC
Canon: 22mm EF-M F2, 50mm F1.8 II, 50mm F1.8 STM, 60mm EF-S Macro, 17-55mm F2.8, 17-85mm EF-S, 70-200mm F4 Non-IS

Like mentioned in the the original post, I've had severe cases of G.A.S :lol: and I actually still have the 40mm STM pancake that I can't seem to let go of.
