I'm very new to the whole photography-thing in practice, but I've been there in spirit for a while; that is, I've been interested in it for a long time without having the equipment to do anything about it. So this is a big step, taken in the hope of getting some constructive criticism that will inspire me to keep working on this new hobby of mine :) I'm here to learn ... practice makes perfect!

A few months later:

Now I've been here for a couple of months and I feel like I've learned so much more than I'd dared to hope in the beginning. I've gotten some more equipment as well:

Canon EOS 350D

18-55 Canon EF-s Kit Lens

55-200 Canon EF 4.5/5.6 USM

Manfrotto 728B digi tripod

Canon Speedlite 430EX

Braun Ultrablitz 32M flash (over 20 years old!!!)

UV-filters for my lenses

There you go. I'm hoping to make this list a bit longer in the near future.

I think this one is my all time favorite (from my own photostream that is):

Seems to be the other flickr-ers favorite as well.
