Biography: My very first digital photo was back in 2001 on a 1mp 64mb camera with no zoom, basically a webcam but portable! Took it to Ceduna for the Solar Eclipse and took photos of the Eclipse! From then I've always loved taking photos, constantly borrowing my parents digital camera(s) to fill the memory cards at every occasion we went to, this has since stemed into a love of photography and all things related. For my 21st birthday i got all my friends/family to just give me money towards the purchase of the Cannon 400D Twin Lens kit. So I didnt end up with many presents, but my very first SLR camera was in my hands! Its been a few years now and I'm starting to buy accessories for it and branch out into more serious photography. My main love is Macro and Landscape.

Biography: Started with photography in '03 with a Canon A75. Quick started accessorizing it with wide lense adaptor and a few other bits and pieces, and was just messing around with landscapes and car photography. Before long I upgraded to a 350D + twin lense kit in '05, soon after bought a 50 f/1.8 and with that started to move into the glamor/fashion side of things. I continued that trent into '08 where I upgraded to a 30D + grip and a Sigma 25-70f/2.8 was added and I moved more into the live event and music shooting. I'm continuing to focus on my live event and music shoots these days, simply because they combine my love of music with my love of photography.

Biography: Just got my first DSLR a couple of weeks ago. Didn't really have any worthwhile hobbies and needed an excuse to get out of the house and away from the computer so I bought a 450D

So far my main interests are landscape and macro photography... hopefully can get a 100mm macro lense or a decent wide angle once I get the hang of it all

Biography: Only started to get into photography and stuff late last year after seeing some of the stuff my cousin was taking of everyday life and figured, "Hey that's pretty cool!". Since then I've been mainly taking pics at festivals and music gigs. Would love to find the time to do more of the "everyday life" kind of photography once I get out of the corporate grind... Hoping to get my mittens on a AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8G or some form of fish-eye lens in the near future...
