    Are there any photographers out there?
    What Camera have you got?
    What style of photography do you tend to practice?
    Do you use Flickr or some other kind of picture hosting site? If so, post a link.
    And share a picture of yours that you like.

    A rule for this thread, if I may: only one image per post, to prevent mayhem. And, for the same reason, keep the image medium sized, like the one I've chosen below.

    Me:
    I have a Canon 700D and I'm mostly using a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens.
    I like street and abstract/bokeh photography.

    Haha, thank you :cheesy:

    I don't feel I'm that good, though. There are some photographers whose work I look at in awe and wonder how the hell they do it.

    I have no idea who he is. I suppose it could be since I don't know Alex Horne!

    Thanks.

    I was thinking about buying a camera but it seems almost impossible to buy film anymore.

    People in the know (mature movies) call me, Lo Hun Phat and clothing is not required. Apart from that, I'm known to be photogenic from a particular angle.<laugh>

    Been working with an old Canon 5D for a few years, though not been able to get out much lately.

    Almost exclusively use a Canon 135L but for wildlife I use a 300L. Don't really use any zoom lenses as they almost always get filled with dust. The 135L is an absolute gem of a lens.

    Top work:emoticon-0148-yes:. I really do enjoy a good well thought out and thought provoking photo. The saying goes a picture paints a story.

    Love it!

    Ah. Definitely not him!

    I bet you there are several websites you could order film from quite easily. But why won't you go digital? There's a lot you can do with a good digital.

    It is. Well spotted.

    Nice equipment. And good work with the pictures. You've been all over the place. Have you not thought of using Flickr, to do your equipment and pictures justice? The site you use seems to reduce your pictures to a lower quality.

    Also, I used to have an old 50D with a really lucky-to-have good set of lenses. It all got robbed from my house last December.
