Wow,
There are certainly a few Aussies out there and guys that would like to be!!I could answer a lot of your questions, but answers generally have been pretty good. I may comment on keeping a note book on your exposures etc. Basically you need to learn what different apertures and shutter speed are are doing to your final result. As long as you understand the principles, you won't need a notebook. i.e. [1] Take a series of shots of a cars driving past at different shutter speeds and apertures, panning and not panning. Analalyze your results and that will help you understand shutter speeds.[2] take some close ups of flowers at different apertures and again analyze the results and you will start to understand depth of field.
Photography is a vast field and I have always said "A good photographer knows more about photography than a doctor know about the human body" Photography is a complex subject with a need to understand equipment and the changes brought about by digital imaging, understanding lighting,colour, effects of processing if using film, composition and much much more. But what an exciting profession it is. I've been doing it for over 50 years and have never lost the desire to learn new things. I notice Joel, you're also in Sydney, the greatest city in the world [now I'll start an argument from the Yanks] In the future we ought to arrange a meeting of fellow Aussies to compare notes. Philip.
