Hi there, been a long time reader of the forums here and thought it was time i introduced myself. So I'm Tim, a Canon user and like to photograph pretty much anything. I do have a particular intrest in wildlife, landscapes and avation. I've met Tony at Pedal Prix events, who I believe frequents these forums (BigV?). Anyway heres a few pics of mine:

Mustang touching down at Avalon airshow last year

A dusky leaf monkey at Adelaide zoo.

Evo almost comes to grief! What the photo doesnt show is there was a photographer a couple meters to his left. This was taken at Mallala over the last weekend.

Ballon fiesta held in Canberra every year

Tim, nice to see that you have finally made it. It will be nice to have another canon shooter out the in the field, especially with the 1dmk11 and the 300 2.8 that you have

Hello Tim - welcome to the forum.

Bloody hell another canon shooter... :wink: BTW: great Mustang shoot. I was at Avalon Air Show last year too. The day was good, the weather was shite.

Great shots Tim, and welcome to the forum. Love the mustang, but all
four shots are excellent and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

I love the last one. It's a really nice balloon pic. Usually when i see hot air balloon pics they are pretty boring, but yours is really interesting. The big balloon of the guy that's on the ground really makes the image. Nice work!

Hi Potato, could you put the actual suburb you live in your location. It is a requirement and we find it very useful for offering assistance, loans,etc

Another welcome for you Tim.
I like the balloon image also. I think it works well with the reflections.
