Hello from a new member

[Chris Stephens]

Hi all,
I've just registered on the forum and am hoping to attend some ADAPS meetings so thought i would introduce myself.
As my user name suggests, i'm called Chris Stephens, I am 36 and live in Leigh. I caught the photography bug in Sept 2011 after buying a Sony bridge camera and quicky developed a taste for landscape photograpy. After i got my head around the settings and found myself using Maunal mode more often, I started to lust after a Dslr and as it was Christmas, i indulged and bought a Canon 5d Mark II (WOW).
I regularly visit Penington Flash and the Rivington area to feed my habit and am now in search of other interesting locations to mix it up a bit ( any suggestions would be greatly appreciated)

Here are some links to a few of my pics, ( if i have done it right )

Feel free to look through more of my pics on my Flickr page.

Hope to see you soon at one of the meetings
Regards,
Chris Stephens

Hi Pauline,
I borrowed the 500d from my dad while i was contemplating the 5d Mk 2. Once i tried a Dslr there was no going back. Im well and truly hooked now ( and skint)
