Hi guy's and gals, just a quick intro to let you all know a little bit about me. I live in the Pilbara area of Western Australia, which is mostly desert even on the coast where I live. This presents plenty of oportunities for great landscape shots but, especially at dawn and dusk. I have posted a few shots on flikr, just search under "Pilbara". I am new to serious photography, and don't have a huge array of equipment yet. I use a Pentax K100D with a 18-200mm Sigma lens, which has produced a few cool sunrise and sunset shots.
If anyone has tips for me or comments on pictures please get in touch. I need all the help I can get! lol.
I am also a mad angler (as my profile pic shows:p), and Karratha, where I live is one of the best fishing spots in Australia. I have caught most tropical species including Sailfish and Marlin. I intend getting my SCUBA ticket and trying underwater photography soon.

Cheers
Floppy

Sydneysider here... Doesn't australia just rock.
I doubt there is anywhere i would rather be living.
Our government isn't the best... but it isn't the worst either.
We live in a pretty nice country here.
