    Hello from Shropshire

    Hi everyone, While I have played with camer's for years, had a Pentax MX a while back, I bought a EOS 200D 2 years ago but only used it on auto, so over the last few weeks I decided to get to know the camera better, and find myself here, A keen beekeeper, wildlife lover and Fly fisherman I am hoping to unite all 4 activities, only to feel like I have just bought a go kart and finding myself at Silverstone in the pits with Lewis Hamilton, way out of my depth. But we all start somewere, so here is one of my first attempts at proper photography, using a remote trigger.

    Welcome to a friendly forum. You'll find lots of helpful advice.

    Will be worth getting a Flickr account (still free up to a certain level IIRC) as direct uploads tend to reduce the quality of images.
