What’s Your Preference?

I am located in Melbourne, Australia not Florida. I am a student studying a B.A and only have a compact ( Powershot A80) right now. In the future I'd love to get the D90 and wide angle lens ( as I love landscapes and not to expensive) and a lens for events ( I'd love to do weddings etc).

Is anyone needing someone to help them out with things. I'm still very green so I would use the word assist loosely.

If you need to know other information go ahead and ask.

There are times I could sure use some help but I'm several thousand miles away

She's in Southern California!

My suggestion, MihadAli, would be to sign up to a flickr, post some of your work, find some Melbourne based Flickr groups, and asking a few people who shoot the stuff you want to shoot if they'd mind showing you some tips and perhaps tagging along. Most people in local community flickr groups are REALLY nice and most accomodating of new photographers. They often have group meets for anything from sunsets/sunrises to model shoots. Look into it.

Uh, I'm blaming the rum... I actually read Colorado, as I have friends there... then typed California... for... I don't know... the Beach Boys? Haha.

I do have a flickr account but not a very good one. Most are very very old photos www.flickr.com/mihadali.

Thanks Oeter!
