Thanks everyone for your kind remarks. It is giving me confidence to go out and take some more shots.

Thanks seeSaw, I will keep that in mind. There is so much to learn.

Thank you

Hi everyone. My name is Chris Ellis and I am from Gosnells in Western Australia. I am retired and have just today purchased my first DSLR camera after reading many reviews and recommendations in this forum and online research. I finished up with a Canon EOS 6D and a Tamron 24-70 F2.8 lens. I have posted the first shot I've taken and would appreciate any criticism and advice re composition, exposure, etc. The shot was hand held at 70mm 1/80 sec F3.2 and ISO 250
