Hi from the Blue Mountains!

[Janedoe67]

I just found this forum this afternoon! I am sort of new to photography. I was heavily into it in the late '90's with bad hair, and have rekindled the passion with better (but heaps older) hair in the 00's. I am into all sorts of everything regarding what to take, but would have to say landscape and photoshop are fun. I am studying a course at the moment, need to, man am I rusty :eek: but yes, good things come to those who work hard (I hope).

Nice to be here and hope I get the courage to contribute here and there :)

OK then, you made me ;)

I am still working out this gallery thing but getting there. OK, these are super old and most taken in terrible light as I had little ones that required feeding in all of the best lit times. Bit of a before and after I hope with this. These were taken with my old Canon gear!

Not sure if I am posting anything in the right spots, but here is the gallery.

Hi Karen,
where about's in the blue mountains are you.
I'm from out that way originally. I still think of it as home.

Hi Rebecca :)

We have settled at Faulconbridge now, but have lived in most parts of the lower mountains over the years. It's a beautiful place, especially with the mists!

Hey welcome! I'm a bit late but better late than never ;)

Hey thanks! Just saw your album and have to say - your rusty bits just floated my boat. How nice is that shot!!! The rest are nifty too, but I really dissolve with that old, crusty, real, ignored stuff look. Great shot!
