Hello guys, a newbie to the site, however have been photographing the Australian landscape for the past 5 years or so. Have been enjoying every bit of it. I use :clogo: 550 D with an assortment of lens to suit the occasion, but my favorites are the Tamron 11-18mm and the 70-300 canon. Get a lot done with these. some of my best images have been with these two. Would love to know about what kind of gear you guys use.

Hello Anne, nice to meet you:) I am still stuck with posting images. Not sure how to, but I think I will eventually get there. I have been doing landscapes and nature, with macro being a favorite genre, but have been experimenting with portraits too. So much that can be done on a rainy day:)

Hello again.. What are you having problems with, is it the size, do you have a Photobucket Album or a flickr one they are free and easier well to me anyway.
And the size is not a issue with them as they come in on links.

Thanks Mary Anne, still learning. I have increased the size, but it says the size exceeds the limit of 250kb. That was the best size I could get out of being within the limit. Guess I will have to upload them onto Flicker and then link it here. And when you say post of the forum, how do i get there?
