Rekindling my focus

[Kookysnaps]

Hi all
I'm keen to get back into photography after not doing much for a few years so I thought here might be a good place to start. I have recently found myself with a lot more time on my hands so what better way to spend it than taking photos.

G'day Kooky, I like that.:)

I was born and bred a little down the road at Ingleburn.
my old man used to love filming steam engines leaving Menagle station in the 70's.
I got married at Menangle House, 1988.
And where you live now is so different.:( But I hope you like it.:th3:

Don't be afraid to ask questions and make comments. It's what makes forums work.
And posting photos is a good way to share and learn.

Hi Mark....Haven't been in this area for long but enjoying so far. Menangle house is now owned by the trotting club and although Menangle house will stay I think the area is going to see major development over the next few years. I love the country but our work is here so for now I will make the best of it. Im lucky, I get to trvel out into the bush a lot so its the best of both worlds. Just need to take my camera with me more...

welcome aboard.. im just up the road in Leumeah... shame about menagle house was a crackin little watering hole, was there last year for melbourne cup just before it closed, where me and my better half won the sweep stakes and best " modern " couple award.. look forward to seeing some of your pics.

[Kookysnaps]

Thanks Paul..yes Menangle house won't quite look the same surrounded by development rather than bush. I will put some pics up as soon as I work out how to...will read the threads about the process today I'm sure it's not to difficult...

Hello Kooky and Welcome to AP.. Will look forward to seeing what you post on the Forums.
Get yourself a Free flickr account that the easiest way to go, then you can put larger size photos on your posts so we can SEE and * CC * them better :nod:
And if you need any help with that, than just ask :2smile:

[MrQ]

Welcome. Sounds like a good plan - reminds me I need to dust my camera off a little more often too. :)

[Kookysnaps]

Yes MrQ the dreaded smart phones make us lazy, and small compact cameras are so good now. I know my little cannon takes great snaps and Im guilty of using it way too much..
