On a recent three month trip (Medical) back to Aus i joined the local camera club out of boredom and to see what i could learn, as i am over 80 and i have outlived all the mates i grew up and knocked around with. Anyway i found it interesting in what constituted Gold, Silver and Bronze awards in photographic competitions and how to crop photos and other things. I have been a bird lover ( the feathered type ) all my life, so i was interested in birding and photography but could not afford the camera and lens kits that the pro's had. After telling them that i lived in Thailand a couple of them suggested that i look for someone selling their gear or the second hand market in Thailand as it was generally cheaper than Aus. Some of my mates here have said i am too old to start this but i don't think anyone is too old to start a new pastime as it gives one an interest and is good brain food.
So i would be interested in hearing from anyone who has good photographic equipment for sale that is no longer used, EG; Canon CLSR and or lens.or equivalent. Any advice on improving photography would also be appreciated.
Before any of the moderators tell me i am on the wrong forum and toss me off, i tried the buy &sell forum and could not get anywhere with it, i think it is the worst forum in Thailand to try and navigate, I especially chose the Pattaya forum because i like it and i think there would be more expats in Pattaya than any other rural city forum in Thailand.
I hope there are a few camera people out there or ex. If anyone wishes to email me i give the Asean Now office staff the OK to give out my email. I would give it here but i don't think the rules allow it. Will do so if i am wrong.
Thanking those in advance, Don.
