Hi. First picked up a camera (Canon AE-1) in the late 70's in Zimbabwe and used it (primarily on auto) while running around the bush and later at uni . Don't know what happened after that, I seemed to stop taking pictures. Queue 3 decades or so, and on a whim I bought a Canon 50D. Still not many pictures unless on holiday. A couple of years back I upgraded to a 70D, and more recently started shooting in RAW and purchased a LR/PS subscription. For better or worse, I'm squarely in the Canon ecosystem but don't begrudge anybody else's choices either: Nikon, Sony, or whatever ..
Having recently moved to Sydney, I hope to have more time and would like to improve my photography especially my "eye" and also some basic pp. in Photoshop/other. I'm one of those people who learn best when taught by others (vs watching YouTube / KelbyOne) so I'll be looking for courses around Sydney - suggestions very welcome!

PS I probably should have a favourite genre but with kids it's pretty much anything at the mo' .. with time then perhaps landscape, portrait, ??

Hello and welcome to AP :)

Given that you learn best when taught face to face, be sure to look through these threads for any meet ups in NSW and your area

Welcome aboard.
The more you get involved the more you'll learn. It's the nature of things on forums. Don't be afraid to ask questions and make comments.
While I'm not sure about the young ones :) if you visit Mudgee PM me and a free cuppa and some really basic PPing advice is yours.

Thanks, Mark, that sounds great; logistically impossible for a while (kids :) ) but who knows in the future? Cheers
