Hey everyone,
My name is Andrew, I'm new to the dslr forum and though I would post a photo of mine and see what others though. I'm very interested in getting people's opinions and any pointers that will help me with my photography.
I'm currently shooting with a canon 5d.
I look forward to your comments and hopefully meeting some of you in the future.
Cheers Andrew

Hi Andrew, welcome
Have you got a larger version?
From what Ive read on here, 800 pixels down either side is a great photo size.

Hi Andrew,
Welcome. I like the photo from what I can see, do you have a link to a larger version, this size just doesn't do it justice.
Cheers
Brett

We seek forgiveness for Andrew as he's a Canon shooter

Andrew works in the Sydney office of the company I work for and he's not a bad bloke, despite the Canon thing..lol.. Welcome Andrew !

Great exposure, the colours are very nice. Composition is also good I think. Look forward to seeing more of your photos.

It was a pinky orange colour..... I liked the contrasting colours of the pink and blue. Probably not everyone cup of tea though.

Welcome to the forum Andrew, 5D very nice, what lenses do you have in your collection? I like the contrasting colours, and the image is so peaceful and relaxing, I like it a lot.

Good collection of glass and accesories there. Just wondering if you find the 24 is wide enough on the FF 5D, or do you sometimes crave a WA to supplement your kit ?

No, Definately looking for a WA. Currently looking at either the 16-35mm or 17-40mm

The 17-40 is lovely on my 30D - it would be even better on a 5D.
