Hi, Im New

[possum]

Well this looks a fun and informative place to be. I joined today and look forward to my online course. I have always been interested in photography but have never been financial enough to proceed with it. I guess I realized how important photography was about 14 years ago with the birth of our first child being 3 months premature and during his 3 month stay in NICU we lost a whole roll of film. The camera gave up and I could never turn back time to retrieve those lost moments. I enjoy photographing my 3 children and anything that gives me a happy feeling. I am in love with nature and enjoy capturing the wildlife in my area and the essence of our property and home.
I have a canon 30d which I purchased late last year second hand and a canon lens ef28-135mm (F3.5-5.6 IS USM for those with more knowledge than me)
I look forward to getting to know you all.
