Hello

[Christine]

Hi ................... I have been taking photos for a long time but still an amateur so now I am retired I

would like to learn more and make some new friends who love photography. I live near the Gold Coast and own an old Canon 400d and a few lenses, love macro and landscape:flowersnap:

Hi Christine. Welcome to AP.
From your description you would fit into our Intermediate experience level.
You can change your own profile for that.

As for the rest, interact on here and also look up the Library resources.

Welcome, Christine. You might want to try the 52-Week Challenge. I don't have the spare time at the moment but I really enjoyed it when I first became involved on this site. It won't matter that you missed the first couple of weeks.

Boyland is a nice part of the world. Looking forward to seeing some landscapes from around there.

Hello Christine and Welcome to AP. Also agree about you being in the Intermediate Level.
You will get lots of Help with Macro and Landscape here so join right in and start posting your images on the CC Forums.
As ameerat42 wrote above that Library Button up the top will give you lots of info, though if you need any other Help do ask.

Thanks everyone for welcome messages.
