Talking Hello all from deepest South Yorkshire

Hi there folks , joined up a about 6 weeks or so back but have been well busy so not had much chance to even look around here. I can honestly say it looks like a great place to visit .

I am from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, always lived here and like to get out photographing all things natural, mainly landscape work but am just thinking about getting the sigma 150mm macro lens .

Look forward to chatting with you like minded individuals here soon. I am off for a good nosey around now.

Cheers
Richard

Re: Hello all from deepest South Yorkshire

Hello Richard from another WAB Richard.

Welcome to WAB.

I bought the 150mm Sigma macro lens last spring and whilst I still have a lot to learn about macro photography technique it is an excellent bit of kit and it certainly came in to its own with all the butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies last summer.

Enjoy the website.

Richard

Not saying that we're parochial - but, when you're talking Yorkshire, the 'deep south' is Sheffield! Welcome.

Re: Hello all from deepest South Yorkshire

Hello pekster! Hope you are enjoying WAB. I worked in Rotherham (London & Scandinavian Metallurgical Company) for 10 years before I had my son. I was brought up in North Anston, lived in Dinnington for a few years but am now back in North Anston again (hi weathergirl).

Hello to everyone else in the area too
