Photographers' Union Thread

[major_panic]

Hello there people,

Well in my travails and sojourns here in the Lemonade Stand, I've noticed that we have quite a lot of photographers on Interference. Now, I also noticed that while we have a lot of threads for specific photography, we don't have a thread for photographers at all. This seemed like a bit of a travesty, so I thought it might be a good idea to start one.

So I guess the idea behind this thread is that it's somewhere that all photographers can come, discuss, learn and get new ideas and techniques from. Everyone perceives things differently to everyone else, and so we can all learn a lot from one another, whether we're just starting out or have been photographing for ages.

I'll start off the thread by way of an introduction, and hope everyone else will do the same sorta thing:

I've only been a serious photographer for about 3 months now; over Christmas I got my cousin's old Canon 300D (with an 18-55 and a 75-300 lens) as he was upgrading to something better.

I've only actually had four or five specific trips to go out and take photos, and so I consider myself an absolute beginner to this whole thing. I'm still a bit scared of things like shooting in RAW - that'll be my next project - and I have had no photography classes or training of any sort.

I do attend a church very regularly, so I guess most of my experience (all of what, ten days' worth) will be in band photography. I'm also very interested in landscape photography and just everything in general.

And now, a picture or two that I've taken:
