G'day trying to spark a new flame

Hey guys thought id join up as im trying to reignite the flame of exploration and light photography. Im from Melbourne's west and at the start of this year i really got into it but around 4 months ago i started slacking off with going out due to a combination of a couple things, like running my own business and having to get my girlfriend to drive me around but now after 2 long ass years i finally have my license back and flicking threw some of my photos im keen to get back out their and even meet some of you guys. Also one day wouldnt mind learning the ropes of Drain exploring always been fascinated but never had someone to help out with the tips and tricks.

Here are some of the few pictures i took

Nice shots. See you've been around Geelong, or at least to the Old Power Station. I'm around Melbourne most weekends and there's plenty of people on here in Melbourne all the time. I'm sure if you threw a post up in the Melbs Random Meetup thread you could find someone. Good luck.

Look up Predator's Approach.doc. It's two decades old this year and was written with Sydney drains in mind, but is still the go-to resource for draining. It'll teach you (almost) everything you need to know.
