Ok, I live in Canada and I am relatively new to photography. I'm 16 yrs old and in grade 11. Although I have owned a cheap digital camera for some time now, after beginning a photography course last year, I bought myself a used Canon Rebel (original) in excellent condition along with the kit lens, a zoom lens, reverse macro lens, and some other cheaper stuff off ebay (tripods, remotes, etc.)
I've been following DPS forums for some time now, after my photography teacher got me hooked, but never actually signed up until today. I absolutely love all the great tips&tutorials, but the forum (or what I've seen of it so far) seems just as great!
I enjoy photographing mainly people (candid) and macro (flowers mostly) but am greatly enjoying spreading my wings with help from this site and from my teacher.
My flickr photostream is here:
