First thing's first; please don't hate me for the title. I couldn't resist.

So hi everyone. Spootz here (real name is Tom, don't ask about the screen name I cant remember the story). Joined to get a bit more info and involvement with the photography community here in Aus. I am currently shooting sports and astro photography, strange combination I know. I am invested in the Canon system and so I will be envious of stuff I see in the sony and Nikon space so sorry in advance for the jealous posts (ill try to keep them to a minimum). I also try (FAIL) to be funny most of the time so I also apologise for that crappy humour in advance too.

My current kit consists of the following

- Canon 600D
- Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 (got it as a kit)
- Canon 50mm f1.8 II
- Tamron 150-600mm F5-6.3
- Yongnuo YN560EX-IV Flash
- Manfrotto 680B Monopod
- Velbon travel tripod
- Sandisk Ultra SD cards
- assorted cleaning bits and bobs
- spare batteries... so many spare batteries

and I keep all of this in a Lowepro Protactic 350AW

I consider myself as a beginner simply because I haven't been doing this for very long. But I am learning quickly and am always appreciative of constructive critique of my work.

I look forward to being an active member of the AP family.

Cheers,

S.

Hiiiiiiii youuuuuuuuuu

Welcome to AP, Spootz.

Well, Look at the resources in the Library, and join in on the forums, comps, challenges, etc.
Post up some pics and see if you don't get to be Intermediate soon.

PS: Forgot to say that's not a strange combo of photographic interests.
