Yep, I'm new (from Oz) and looking forward to getting my teeth into this site...and definitely not up to submitting anything as yet. Have a gazillion ideas in my brain, just need to get them out there. See you all soon

Sink your teeth in. You'll love it here!

Welcome welcome! It's a great place over here, lotsa friendly people and some incredible incredible photographers!

Oh, and I'm confused -- when you say Oz, do you mean as in the wonderful wizard?? ;)

Hey thanks for the welcome, both of you. No, not Oz as in wizard Oz as in Australia:) Though at times I think they are one and the same

Ohhhhhhh now I understand :):):) I think Australia can definitely be counted as a wizard.

Hi Sharron
Sometimes the Northerners struggle when we start talking in our own language (yet somehow we manage to work out their designation for States...) Plent of Aussies frequent this site......
Jump right in with both feet. Only way to get better is to take a picture for a challenge and submit.
Enjoy

Welcome aboard Megg. Jump right in, post some pics, and don't be afraid to enter the challenges. Just have fun

Welcome and don't be afraid, we don't bite :)
(Well, not counting Slippy and Art and maybe a couple others)

Best way to learn is to just dooooooo it! And when you browse the challenges, start from the bottom. Then you'll see that there are lots of us who are definitely less than perfect. That might make it a little easier to get up the nerve :)

Welcome!

This is definitely the place to sink your teeth into. It is a wonderful place to grow in your photography. Just get involved and have fun. Most of what I know about Photography I learned right here at DPC. One thing that helped me was commenting on others' photos and just having fun. Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is a place to learn and have fun!

There are a lot of Aussie's here.

You'd be hoping for a challenge with a Storm theme then :)

Still bucketing down there ?

bazz.

Now Garry, don't be harsh. Not everyone can have the Beautiful weather that we always have down here in Melbourne.

no sign of rain in this part of the world. I'm off to take some photos (as soon as I pack up my stuff and turn of the light - I happen to be at work when I stumbled across this little gem of a site) Thanks for all the encouragement you wonderful people. Will be back later.....

Weather? You guys can't talk about weather, Coffs has it all. Actually right now its stormy, freezing and incredibly windy.....lol
Welcome Megg, hope you have a great time! Watch out for these forums, they can get pretty heated, but very addictive and sometimes hilarious. Hope you have lots of spare time on your hands!

Oh No!! my parents will be there in an hour, followed by us on Sunday- I hope it improves because they have to set up a caravan, and we need to pitch our tent!!

Welcome Megg - I love to see more Aussies around here :)

I just hope Sharon is off either taking a photo of Money or motion Blur. Once you have been game enough to submit your first photo, you are hooked.

Welcome!

Watch out for that Art dude - when I came here he gave me unlimited popcorn and then charged me $9.95 for a toothpick. I think he's up to something...

Go ahead and enter something!

Did you say you're coming to Coffs Lonni? Let me know how long you're here if thats the case, I'd love to meet you!

just checked the weather it is supposed to be 25c...we'll see
10/23/2008 01:30:51 AM · #25
We have our family holidays in Urunga. I love it there - swimming, fishing, relaxing. You can see my (rather poor) attempt of a night shot of the caravan park in the August Free Study. We'll be there from Sunday night through to Saturday morning so It would be great to meet up if you have some time.

Hopefully the weather will improve so we won't be stuck in a tent with an 11 month old :)
