G'day you wonderful UEGA folks. My name's Kookaburra (not really) and I'm a 20 year old dude from the South East suburbs of Melbourne.

I'm totally new to photography but I'm a very artistic guy in general and I've always wanted to get into this hobby. I've finally got around to biting the bullet and dropping some dosh on some camera gear.

I found a good deal on a Canon 550D + accessories on gumtree so I had to pick it up. Been shooting whatever takes my fancy for about 3 days now. I've yet to properly get out and do any Urbex (*cough* tresspassing *cough*) so far.

I have an Instagram where I've mostly just dumped some old iPhone pics to get started with.

I also have a Flickr where I think I'm going to put the majority of my photos since it's the only service that doesn't completely eat your quality.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/kookedburra
And I realize it's got my actual name there but f*** it whats gonna happen? come find me. :twisted: Nice to get credit for your own work anyways. :mrgreen:

Please share with me your flickrs and instas! I'd like to follow everyone on here if possible.

Anyways, I'm interested in all sorts of photography and I'm really keen to just get out and practice a lot right now. One photographer in particular who's work I am very inspired by is French Fred. I recommend looking up his work.

Im willing to go out on any and all missions that are happening in Melbourne and try to get some nice shots. I'm avaliable pretty much any early morning or late night since my working hours are typically 3pm-midnight five times a week. Very keen to meet some of you guys and make some photog buddies.

Cheers all!
~Kooks.

Welcome to Melbourne exploring!
Victoria is a state that keeps on giving,
I'm sure Echo & Vicinity will show you around, but the best advice I can give is to prod around and see what you find.
Enjoy!

Cheers Nick, I'll definitely be keeping a special eye out while cruising from now on for spots to come back to.

Hi yes hello I'd like to book 1 tour please. I'd prefer it if we can travel everywhere by Segway and the waiver is signed with pencil on a napkin, I don't do good with walking or commitment.
