Originally posted by Lord Lucan but at least revealing your part of the world helps in discussions of price, kit availability and even the type of daylight.
since many states, provinces and countries are vast and varied in landscape, It also helps us understand the setting of some of your photos. Some of us might have been to your part of the world so that adds some familiarity right up front.
There are also subforums and groups related to regions and countries which might interest you.
More snapping, less yapping, and consider posting pictures and participating in Single In or Daily in or some of the photo contests.
Feel free to ask questions, and offer useful advice if you can.
