Paul (Stargazer) ... 1st Post :)

Hi all, my name's Paul and I'm a newbie here, although I have known of the site for a while.
I'm located in the southern Adelaide suburb of Morphett Vale and am now a proud owner of a Canon 350D (or my credit card is atm :P).

I've already noticed a few familiar names around the forum from other sites so I almost feel at home already! :mrgreen:

Hope to learn heaps here and grow in my photography skills ... and maybe show a pic or two :wink:

Image for the kind welcome all!

Rob: Geocaching is a game that I play in my spare time. It's sort of a world wide treasure hunt using the internet and a GPS unit to track down treasure (caches). People hide caches (usually a plastic box containing, at a minimum, a logbook to record your visit & maybe some trinkets for the kids (big kids? :oops: ) to swap - you take something, you leave something).
It sounds easy but it can be harder then it looks ... but you can visit some fantastic places. ;)

Welcome to the forum Paul!
It's not only great to have another "local" on board, but one who has similar interests as well, makes it even better!
