Hello!

Nikki · May 22, 2003

Hi everyone! My name is Nikki and I'm new here. I'm 29 and live in Australia.

I've just recently acquired my first SLR - a Minolta Dynax Maxxum 404, and I've started a photography course (just a basic one, one night a week for 8 weeks).

I've always been interested in learning photography, but never had the opportunity (or a decent camera) before! I'm sure I'm going to have heaps of questions, so hopefully you guys will be able to help me out with some of them in the future!

Looking forward to chatting with you all, and learning lots and lots from you!

Cheers,
Nikki

Glad you could join us Nikki 8)

I'm sure you will learn plenty in that Photography course. Definately get to know your manual settings.

I love my Minolta X-7A camera. Just wish I had some really good lenses. Minolta is known for good close up lenses.

Good Luck
