A Warm Hello

[Makkah]

Hi everyone

I am a newbie from Darwin
We are experiencing an early start to the build up here, hence the "warm" hello.
The site looks great with a wealth of info and experience within.
I am new to DSLR and going through a steep learning curve, with my new gear, i.e Pentax K50, a DFA 100mm macro lens and just arrived this week a more versatile 16-85 DA pentax lens.
Have always loved photography and come with an artistic eye thats needs to understand the tech side of my brush (so to speak).
Macro holds a special interest for me but just love image capture and art.
I hope to learn, make friends and even contribute at some stage :)

cheers
Andy

Hey Andy.

Haven't really been here all that long myself, but welcome and hope you get from here what you're looking for.

I've found jumping in and offering some cc has really helped with the learning curve... not just compositing a shot, but making me focus on what settings make a shot great.

Cheers Dude.

G'day Andy, welcome to a good place to learn and play. Don't be afraid to ask questions and generally get involved.
strangely this is really good advice.

It actually makes you think about what you do and don't like in photos. This helps your photography.
"I really like the ....... . ow did you do that?'
"I not really sure about ..... . Why did you do that? Think I would prefer ....... ."

And if your looking for some reasons to try different this it's never to late to get involved in the weekly members challenge. Themes at the first thread here ..... http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?190-Member-Challenges-52-2015
