Hello from Cavan!
-
Hi, I registered on here a while back but never got around to an intro so here goes…
I’m Derek from Cavan obviously enough and I only really got interested in photography about two years ago. Up to that point I was happy enough taking all my photos including holiday photos with a camera phone and had put no real thought into what I was doing. I have a keen interest in cars and it was though seeing various photos posted on the forums that I became interested in how they took such wonderful photos. So in April 2008 I bought a Canon 1000D with the standard kit lens and began experimenting with it.
Initially my main interest was taking photos of cars but before long I found myself taking photos of everything and anything in particular landscapes. After about a year I wanted to get a lens and bought a Sigma 70-300mm as it was well suited to motor sport and represented great value for money. More recently I picked up a Sigma 10-20mm lens second hand which I love using although it is a relatively slow lens.
Will probably buy a Canon 50mm f1.8 in the near future and I’ll probably take a course in photography as I’d love to gain much more knowledge on the subject with a view to someday taking it more seriously.
I have been looking through the site a fair bit and from what I’ve seen so far there’s lot of talent and worthwhile advice on here and I look forward to posting in the future!Some recent photos…

Hi Derek. Welcome to the site. I like the variety of subjects in your shots & particularily the composition in them.
