I live in Sydney, Australia but grew up in Switzerland. I won my first kodak camera when I was in primary school for a drawing competition and have always enjoyed taking pictures. I lost my Olympus camera last year and the insurer replaced it with a Fujifilm Finepix S100FS which prompted me to take a course at the local community college (just so I could understand the buttons) and I discovered manual shooting. Wow! I'm mainly interested in sceenery, macro and what I call creative photography - the quirky, unusual or plan every-day. There's so much beauty out there.
I also have a Olympus Tough 1050 mainly because of the weight and ease of use. I intend to travel East Africa & Mt Killamanjaro in July and intend to take some awsome pics with both cameras.
I'm still a bit confused on how to post threads - what's the difference between quote and quick reply? etc.

PS. I'm 58 years young but don't hold this against me.
