I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

that's a really great collage Carin, seriously - much better than my excited 'shot of new camera' when I got mine..! speaking of which good choice, I have the 400d and am mildly jealous of the kit lens you have with the 450 - by all accounts a better lens, and if I'm right with IS built in? lucky girl u =P I'm guessing it's a pretty similar setup to the 400d, which after nearly 5 months of use I'm pretty comfortable with.. so if it's all still a bit overwhelming maybe I could be of help on certain things - if it's your first SLR then I was in a very similar boat a few months back =)

Have fun with your new Toy!
