G'day everyone

Hey everyone.

So here is the low down on why I'm here. I just came back from a trip to USA and had an amazing time. When I went through photos with family, I found myself saying "it looked amazing, but the photo doesnt do it justice" too many times. I did take one really good photo (I think) but it was a complete fluke. My next trip is to Africa in a few months, so I want to be able to take photos that actually do what I see justice. I dont want to come back and be disappointed with my photos again. I want to know how to take good photos instead of just guessing. This will be my last trip before starting full time work so who knows how long it will be before I can return.

Monty.

Thanks guys.

As soon as I get my DSLR (bidding on ebay, fingers crossed) I'll start the learning plan and post some shots up there.

Welcome aboard.
You've found a good place to learn and enquire.
Good luck on that ebay thing.
When you're in Africa, I hope you get a photo of a Python Monty! :D

Thanks guys.

Just found out I won the bidding for the camera so from next weekend I should be able to start doing the learning plan and posting those pics up.

And funny you should mention Monty Python, because they are some of my favourite movies/comedy skits of all time.
