I realised I hadn't posted in here, so here it is

I live south of Valencia in Spain in Orange growing country. I've been into photography for many years but have only just begun to take it more seriously, hence joining this board and getting involved with my local club. I've a lot to learn :)

I presently have a Canon 10D with a couple of Sigma lenses, but having now finally organised my finances I am on the prowl for a 7D

There's lots to photograph around here. We're near the coast but also close to mountains ... and of course Valencia. I look forward to posting some shots up and gaining valuable advice :)
 
Welcome, Valencia is a lovely city to photograph, I went there in August of the is year. Hope you enjoy it in here there's loads of advice to be had.
 
hi Jon - you have joined a great forum, looking forward to seeing some of you photos soon. I started off with a 10D really good camera, enjoyed it a lot

Hey welcome to the forum Jon :wave:

Where abouts are in Spain? I am about 20 km's north of Valencia. Have you been into Valencia and photographed some of the usual sights?

So where is your camera club? I have been looking since moving out here in March and would love to find something fairly close by :)

Look forward to seeing you around :thumbs:
 
Thanks all for the greetings, most kind :)
I own an expats forum and am well known on them, so know how helpful forums can be when used properly

@swag .... I'm just outside of Gandia in the mountains, I'm a member of the local U3a, but its turning into a bit of a spin off to get away from them.

I have been to Valencia a couple of times, but didn't really take any serious shots. I spent a lot of time taking "tourist" shots for the expats forums so people could see the areas they were hoping to move to. Now, I'm going to try and concentrate on thinking about what I'm taking :lol:

The Club is talking about another trip to Valencia though, maybe you could meet up with us

Hi Jon,

What epats froum do you own? We belong to a couple out here as it's always useful to be able to ask questions and see what people have done before you!!

That would be fab when you next come up here, let me know and I can get the metro into the city.

I'm not sure if I am allowed to mention them ... I'll pm them to you :) I'm guessing you already post on one of them as it is one of the biggest :)

And me and me :thumbs:

Sara must respond to your PM - week days are difficult for me because of school times :shrug: But a weekend day would be perfect. Unless we wait untill nearer to Christmas, when the girlies will be with their daddy.

As I said Sarah, I just want to avoid Monday and Wednesday as I go to Spanish classes. Apart from that, hubby has given me a pass for the day as he'll stay and look after the pup!! And I can do short notice too, it's tough being retired!!!! :D

Maybe you can come too Jon, would be good to have a get together. I put a thread in the meeting place a while back :thumbs:

I gave up work too .... it takes too much time up :)
So I'm generally available with a bit of notice
 
Jon, I'm actually in Orihuela "campo" so about 2 hrs (?) away

:wave: Hi Cliff whereabouts are you?
 
welcome aboard :) We've got friends who live in Sanet Y Negrals which doesn't look that far away from you guys either :)
 
Welcome Jon,

Lovely place Valencia, have visited a couple of times, mainly for the Moto GP, but I love the architecture around the "Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias".

And good luck with the 7D, nice camera :thumbs:
