Hi all,

My name is David and I've been a lurker for quite a while now so I thought I'd introduce myself. :D

I have a Canon Three Fidy :P with kit lens, 28-105, 75-300 and 100/2.8 Macro. Also a 580EX.

I am into all sorts of photography but love wildlife and Macro (especially in fish tanks)

A page with some pics from a recent trip to Kangaroo Island in South Australia: http://users.tpg.com.au/viviers/KI/ki.html

Also a big thanks to everyone who posts solutions and advice on this board - I've learned heaps already!

David,

welcome to the site, I'm sure you'll like the community here. A number of members share your photographic interests.

Nice KI pics, it's a great place. I had a visit in Feb/March last year - My pics here. Now, to get back there sometime and cover the rest of the place!

Mick, Just Do It!. :D
You've got the perfect set up - a camera, a van and a cup of tea to slurp on while taking in the view.

It's definitely on the cards Daniel. Off to Lithgow for the weekend to try to get a few shots at Iron Fest. Have a good weekend all.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Welcome David!
I just had a look at your pics....the seals.....Nice work! Can I recommend that when you get 15 shots of seals that are similar then just post the best 2. They are the only ones you want. Those 2 then will have more impact for viewers. Posting large numbers of very similar images weakens your portfolio. Looking forward to seeing your future work.
Regards

Thanks Matt.

I apprecite the advice. I took about 1200 pics over the 2 day tour and that page was more to work out which one was best :) I was picking one to frame as a gift for a friend and wanted some advice from other friends.

Hopefully someday I'll get a portfolio set up :D

Thhanks again
