I discovered photography through boredom as an inpatient and was searching for a 'different' podcast to the true crime podcasts I was absorbed in. For whatever reason "So You Want to be a Photographer" podcast popped up amongst several others and I played episode one and was intrigued and listened to several episodes. The presenters were Australian and they had a great style and you could feel their enthusiasm to impart their skills and knowledge was genuine. When I left hospital I purchased a Canon 5D3 with a nifty fifty and and a 24-105mm lenses. Whilst I was confined to being home and in and out of hospital, I accessed You Tube, many websites and some literature to understand my camera and how to use it. I'm free of hospital now and am developing my skills and knowledge of manual photography and AV and shutter priority. I am struggling to learn LRC to edit my photos however I am progressing. I thought joining a 365 project would be very beneficial for me to become more creative, the use my camera daily and to learn from others on this site.
