Hi there

[Garnett]

Just joined the forums, having bought my first DSLR (a Pentax K-5). I've been reading up on theory and taking a few (awful) shots and I'm joining a few forums to hopefully get guidance on how to improve.

This looks like a decent, busy, forum so I'm looking forward to getting involved.

Additionally, if anyone can point me in the direction of any London-centric forums that'd be great.

Thanks in advance for answering all my inane questions!

Welcome to TP. I'm a noob too although been here for over 12 months. Still learning; every day's a school day and all that. Best thing to do is get some shots up ASAP and start getting feedback.

Thanks guys. Not quite ready to stick any pictures up for public scrutiny just yet, but hopefully I'll have a bit of a "portfolio" in a couple of weeks or so.

I joined this place a year ago having just bought a Canon 500D & have read so much information I have already moved up to the 5D2 & am looking at studio lighting - a lot can be learned from here, enjoy

HHH. Spending money on new kit is something I don't need any tips on, according to my wife!

I think I need to work on seeing photo opps mainly. I'm quite self-conscious at the mo because I'm so aware of my lack of knowedge and experience and it's holding me back.
