Having read a few 'New Member' introductions, it seems that I may not be too old to join after all. Retired and living in Borrowdale I have been an EOS Magazine subscriber and Canon user for the last 10 or so years. I had hoped that the combination of the two would assist my development in photography. To be fair, both have done their bit but my application has perhaps been a bit suspect. I enjoy wildlife, landscapes and people. Living in the Lake District I thought I may get some good landscape images, but to be fair I don't compete with some of those around who can really do the business so wildlife, and birds in particular seem to be the photos I enjoy taking most of all.

Re: New Member from Cumbria
Totally agree with Dave, he has nearly 20 years on me, but in photography it is an age leveller, in fact one learns more from those that have made the mistakes and in the age of pre digital had to get it right first time.Last edited by TonyT; 02-07-2017, 21:45.Canon 1DX, 50D, EF500 F4.0 L, EF100-400 f/4.5-5.6L I , EF100-400 f/4.5-5.6L II, EF70-200 f/2.8L II, EF180 f3.5L Macro, EF 24-105 f/4L, EF17-40 f/4L, EF2.0X III, EF1.4X III, 430EX II, MR-14EX...
