Taking On A New Obsession

[SarcoHarris]

Hi all,

I am an absolute new starter in the hobby of digital photography, only have taken up the hobby in my recent retirement. To that end I have for the moment decided to make use of my late brothers photography equipment. There is a bag of various types and sizes of filters, several tripods and flash units, with a Pentax K100D with a variety of Pentax, Sigma and Tamron lenses.

I will see how it goes and maybe enroll in local training through TAFE or other sources, and increase my confidence and knowledge.

Other than that, I will see where it takes me.
