Hi all

Just a message to say g'day and tell you a little about me. I have been around photography for probably 40 years as a hobby. I got the bug when I went on a black and white developing course and ended up with the second bedroom painted black and converted to a darkroom. I still remember the buzz when I saw an image come up in the paper in the developing tray. Alas the darkroom and the enlarger has gone and Ive entered the digital age.

When I retired I dabbled in photography but its only in recent years that Ive got back into it with a passion. My partner and I have set up a small home photography business ( Right On Photography) and I specialise in mainly surfing photography but enjoy doing the odd landscape and portrait. The down side to surfing photography is surfers love seeing their images but have short arms and long pocket so not many purchases however I enjoy the challenge of looking for that perfect image.

I'm a canon fan and currently have a Canon 7Dmk11 which for surfing I attach the Sigma 150-600 I also have a 6D with a few different lens. For processing and cataloging I use Light Room and Photoshop.

Jim

Hello Jim and Welcome to AP. Good choice of gear so will look forward to seeing what you post on the Forums.
I have that same Canon outfit for Birding with the Sigma Contemporary lens took it to the Qld/NSW recently to shoot the Surfers.
Not a decent wave in sight, though I was amazed at the detail that gear picked up from about 500mts away :2smile:
