Hello BPN,
I am an amateur photographer based out of chennai, Tamilnadu (native from Nanded, Maharashtra), India. Since the time I got my DSLR Canon 400D some 4 years back, its been a terrific journey till now. The camera taught me to look at the same world, differently !! And, thats the best invention a man has made till this date ;)
I love every bit of it when I am in nature and behind the camera. I love everything from landscapes, waterfalls, wildlife to macros. I have recently bought over a canon 300mm F4 and got interested in birds more.
I have been following people like Clement, Ganesh, Sudhir, Kiran, Harshad from INW forums and facebook. I am sure, the kind of photographers BPN has, it would keep us inspiring to take/make better and better images !!
Samyak, welcome to the party! We're so glad to have you with us. If you need any help getting around the site or have any questions please let me know.
I also have a Canon 40D and it also changed the way I see the world. I know so many people who think I am silly for spending the kind of money that I do on camera equipment but they just don't realize how priceless it is once you have it.
Welcome to BPN. The way you feel about photography pretty much sums up the way I feel as well. Congratulations on your new 300F4 lens. I think you will be very happy with it. That was my first serious Canon lens, and it worked very well for me, also coupled with a 1.4 teleconverter which gave me 420mm.
Looking forward to seeing some of your photos on the forum soon.
