Hello teachers http://www.digitalslr.com.au/forum/images/smiles/biggrin.gif
I say that seriously because that is why I am here.
We are full-time travelers in Australia: grey nomads living in a 25' caravan towed by an F250 with no fixed base - no home/no flat/no responsibilities.
In October we are off to South America for six months which includes a week on Easter Island and a one month cruise to Antarctica which includes a month in Antarctica; then we finish the year overseas with five months in Europe and end with a month of SCUBA in Indonesia (use a G9 in a Canon housing).
Current Gear: 40D; EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM; 16-35 2.8L II; EF 24-105mm f/4L IS US; 580 EXII; Manfrotto 055CSPRO3 + 488RC2
Gear to be purchased before October departure: 50D or perhaps 60D; 5DII or perhaps 5DIII; EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM; 180mm Macro f23.5L USM; Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX; perhaps (the jury is out) sell the 100-400 and buy the 400 f/5.6 (thoughts?).
I was introduced to this forum by Artie; I was introduced to Artie - The Bird Man - by a fellow traveler during a cruise last July from Alaska to Russia and back to Alaska. All this fellow did was rave about Artie's bird images and how I had to buy his book and CD.
I want to cram/learn all possible before departure in October; that includes immersion into Lightroom and Photoshop.
Since I truly believe that the only dumb question is the one you didn't ask; I am going to ask lots of questions and spend my $20 over and over and over :D! Images WILL be forthcoming.
Thank you for allowing me to be a member of BPN and participate with this amazing group of photographers.
