Newbie!

Post by viraleye »

Hi everyone, my name is Stu and I am from Tyldesley. I did register on here a few months ago but it was never activated for some reason so tried again and here I am!

I have only recently taken up photography so have a very lot to learn.

Welcome Stu, sorry to hear you didn't get activated last time. It might have been the username!

Anyway, do tell us about your photography and perhaps post some images. There's a competition online as well that you can enter.
Best regards

Quite different images to the norm.
Feel free to post more photos in the Images Forum.

Always ask yourself this question: “am I proud of this shot?” if the answer is “yes” then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

Yes Brian you are quite right. Taking the photos i do is often given very bad publicity but its nothing of the sort!

Welcome to the club forum Stu. One thing about ADAPS is that we are more than happy to share our knowledge and have members with a wide range of abilities. Obviously you will have a lot in common with Brian and he can give you advice and places of interest to visit. Come along to meet us on our club nights on Thursday, we are a friendly bunch.

Hope to meet you soon :D
