Just some dude.

Hi, I'm Fred and just some dude with a camera.
Quick history.

A while after I moved to Indonesia, some silly twit asked me to post a photo so I used my cheap point and shoot to snap one.
I got asked for more and I went a bit crackers so I now have a collection of 13,461 depicting bits of life in Indonesia.

The shots were taken with a variety of camera phones, then moving up to things with better lenses than a compact and on to my latest, a Fujifilm HS50.
I didn't want an SLR because I need a camera that I can point and shoot in a wide variety of conditions without setting anything up.
That in mind, I leave the camera on continuous shot at its maximum rate and hope I see the right thing at the right time.
I snap away with hope and a prayer and, just from time to time, manage to get something reasonable.

I'm not a pro and probably never will be but I love wandering around, trying to find interesting subjects for my little hobby of street photography.

and my first and only attempt at an artistic shot

I may ask amateurish questions that experienced photographers will think are silly.

However, if anyone knows how to make money from street shots of Indonesia, I'd love to know.

So far; so good.
I'm reading far more than I'm posting and I'm realising how good other people are and how little I know.
However, on the bright side, the forum is very informative and I'm learning a lot.

Cheers all.
