Hi, my name is Patrick and I'm from Reading, Berkshire. I've always had an underlying interest in taking pictures, although I never got around to doing anything about it. And so finally I bought myself a second hand Canon 400D which I'm very happy with. I'd like to try my hand at Micro Photography and so I'm hoping to learn a few tips from some of you much more experienced photographers.

to TP! You've got some good kit and this is a friendly forum so you'll get plenty of advice if you need it. The Tutorials section here is a great read, and the Talk Basics forum is a good place to ask questions while you're starting out. Have fun!
