Hi guys, my name is Matty and I hail from Youngtown.

I only signed up a few minutes ago and haven't had a chance to look around yet.

My interests are Photography and fish keeping, and of course the two combined, Fish Photography.

I'm also into wedding photography, so if you know of anyone getting married, just drop me a line and I would love to help out. (Really cheap!!)



Look forward to chatting with you all,

Matty

Thanks for the interest guys. misscatlover, I've sent you a PM.

Here are some wedding shots (with permission of course), fish, and a few others for those that are interested.





I have a Canon Macro lens for my DSLR and I love getting up close and personal with creepy crawlies




Some fish (cichlids) from my fish tank








Taken at the Longford Show (first time at night last year)


A misty morning on my deck


Launceston's Catarct Gorge (Most beautiful place in Tassie IMO)


This last picture won me $5,000 in a funny photo competition



Thanks for looking.

WOW

"A misty morning on my deck " and the Gorge are amazing..

What kind of hardware you using there?

Thanks. I have a Canon 350D DSLR. some shots are with the 18-55mm lens, some are with the 60mm Macro lens and a couple of the shots there are with my old Kodak DX6490

they are pretty impressive

Some really nice shots in there (I especially like the dew on the spider web)

But what the smeg is going on with the spider? Looks like it's got little ones all over it's abdomen

Thanks. Yep, you're right. It's how mother spiders carry their babies around.

Here's a shot of a bub that has fallen off.

so awesome!! thanks for sharing

man, never even noticed the little ones in the spider shot, went back for a revisit, once again, completely amazed.

While surfing net I found this on a site. How far is it true?

Launceston is a town in Tasmania.Tasmania is a small state of Australia that is an Island on the east side of the country.
Launceston is often referred to as‘Lonnie’or ‘l’ton'.
If you live in the town…you hate it and want to move as far away as possible
If you don’t live in the town…you hate and never go their.NEVER.
In this town everyone knows, heard or seen everybody else…and is usually their cousin… sometimes this is due to inbreeding.
People of the this town should be avoided at all times but in particular on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights when many locals engage in drinking and drug taking.
You will be able to identify the locals at pubs and on the street due to their holding of a ‘Boags’ can or bottle or sneaking a swig of the ‘goon’ bag and picking a fight.
Also, avoid the Mall. During the day you will be beaten up by young children wearing bandannas. During the night you will be harassed be christens bribing you with coffee to listen to their crap.
