I work as an Environmental Biologist, a job which sends me all over remote Western Australia and in contact with some amazing animals and scenery.

I like rock climbing, diving and camping, and my family lives in Asia so I end up travelling in my spare time as well as for work.

Ive always wanted a camera with some manual settings to capture some of the amazing places I have seen, so in January (2007) I just splashed out and bought myself my 1st SLR, a Nikon D80.

No photoshop as I have an OLD laptop which cant handle big files... So only basic stuff like cropping applied to my photos.

As I am just starting out and trying to figure out my way around my camera, any constructive advice from all of you out there would be much appreciated :) BTW if my photos are blurry when you view large size, its prolly because I only upload low quality images so that they dont get nicked.

Thanks everyone!!
