Hello to all and all the best for the following year. I,ve been a keen photo nut for a few years now and have taken the plunge and bought a 400D with kit lenses and 430ex flash. I,m an information sponge so be forewarned I will have many questions about getting the best out of my new camera. Cheers for now and look forward to chatting with you all. Regards Marty.

Great day at Zoo but stinkin hot, Got home download pics ,most ok, one great close up of demonic lookin Emu, show family,all lied said they were great(loyalty really is blind),delet of card and reformat same.
