Re: Hello from sunny Malta
Thanks for the welcome. I've had this site bookmarked since its early days and seeing it develop into such an excellent tutorial source has been of great benefit for my development as an enthusiast. The natural step forward was joining the forum. Constructive critique from fellow enthusiasts is [IMMO] probably the best advise a photographer can receive.
Thanks

Hi Judy,

I work abroad in the North African desert but where I'm located the desert is quite featureless and besides, its not the best of places to run about with photographic equipment.
Malta provides very little scope for land shots but being such a tiny island, the sea's nowhere far so coastal photography has become one of my favourite pastimes. Malta is also a macro photographer's paradise and insect shots now occupy most of the space of my HD.
Cheers
Mark

Re: Hello from sunny Malta
Hi Mark I just joined the community today, my interests are sunsets, sports (THFC and my boys football teams mainly) and macro. You mention Malta offers little for landscapes so you take lots of macro photos. What camera and lens do you use? BTW my son is on a football educational trip in Malta next year (April 2013) and he's really looking forward to it!!!
