Hi from Essex

Hi Just thought I would introduce myself. Have just upgraded from a Compact Digital to my 1st DSLR and trying to get used to using the Camera. Have purchased a K-m with the twin Lens outfit and also just purchased a Sigma 105mm Macro lens. I find Macro photography to be very intresting, althou not finding it as easy as I first thought. Would be intrested in hearing from anyone who know's of a good Club in Essex where I can get some good tips/hints on how to start using my camera. Have posted my 1st picture on here and would love to get some feedback from all you photographers on here. Look forward to hearing back from you all. Tony

Brentwood Photographic Club has many PENTAX users and I used to run the Essex Group of the Pentax Club with my ex-wife (who went off with an MX +120mm f2.8 Pentax-M lens !) There are two of us, both ARPS, who also have the 6x7 Pentax and have many years experience -- I teach photography at the club -- please come along, any Friday, from 7.45pm to: Friends' Meeting House,Hutton Road, SHENFIELD,road to Billericay,200 yds from Shenfield Station, free parking,opposite Hussey & Greaves and Shorter Avenue -- I will even treat you to a 30P tea & biscuit ! Regards- Peter.
