Hi there,

I'm so happy to find this site. Until now i have been thinking I would have to enrol in some kind of course.

I am def a beginner. I just bought my first DSLR - Canon ESO 70D with the lens that came with it. I will investigate this site to work out what kind of zoom lens to get next.

I want to be able to take good natural portraits and street photos. Also i volunteer for a Dog Rescue org so i would like to be able to help them by photographing dogs up for adoption.

I would like to be brave enough to put some of my photos up for CC but when I look at OPs photos I feel in awe.

i look forward to chating again soon.

Hi Juskat. Welcome to AP. It's normal to feel that way.
Normally, too, it disappears after a short while. The thing
is to join in. Apart from that, there are resources for beginners
(and anyone) in the Library.

>It's personal improvement that's lauded here:nod:<

So, see you(r photos and yourself) round the traps.
Am.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome and encouragement. I will take a deep breath and post some shots in a day or 2. i am hoping this cold Melbourne rain will stop soon so i can get the camera outdoors.

Hi and welcome to AP

Just remember, the best way to learn is to copy, so the photos you see and feel in awe, just do your best to replicate it. It may not be exactly the same, but you'll start getting the idea how to. Also, be sure to read up the basics so you can know how to :)
