Welcome Sam ! Your entrance was very similar to mine (after lurking for a while), and most of my gear is from the second hand market too
![]() Looking forward to your work, and I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do. |

Welcome from me aswell Sam. What sort of boat? (I hope you are going to say a Fisher 37, my absolute favourite in a lifetime of sailing ![]() Of course there are a squillian YouTubes tutorials and a whole library of books to choose from but I'd suggest you have a look at the YouTube channel, "Photography Online". It started in Jan 20 and publishes an hour programme every month, entirely free, no catch. And I have no connection with them other than an impressed viewer. I'd start at Jan 20 and work through last year, there is a host of good advice covering all sorts of photography genres. It is as good as any TV programme and is from a Photography training school on the Isle of Skye. Looking forward to seeing your sailing photos in due course. Brian |

Not a Fisher, but my parents had a Colvic 33 which is vaguely similar.
Thanks for the link to photography online, they're brilliant! I quite like being taught in a Scottish accent. |

Hello. My name is Rudolf aka Rudolph and I have been photographing since 2007. I am from Slovakia. Since I worked in the field of public transport as a bus driver, my photographic hobbies were also took some photographs. Like railfan -> busfan. Machines and so on.
Personally I am not native english speaker and writer. You know, here it is more to just listening and obey. ;) :) What more to say to introduction? I am amazed that I had not got user account here... |

Hi Rudolf, and welcome to Dyxum.
We're living though strange and challenging times, but I must say the ability to remain connected to the Dyxum membership and to see the world via this wonderful on-line community is a real blessing while freedom to travel and to get out and about with cameras is restricted. Looking forward to seeing your posts. Joe |

Thank you! I definitely find time to collect and organize those pictures from Bus spotting times. During my work at capital city (Bratislava), I had absolutely no time to took some pictures. Especially when I was working. Long shifts.
Especially during my high school and university times (aka 2009-2014), it was quite different story. Well, Bus spotting is quite "time eating" hobby just like wildlife photography is. Great times for pictures like this one. I saw that Dyxum Photo Contest from 2020 is still open. So, if I can i put there some photos from the fields. Last year, during lockdowns and summer time, I spent more time in the fields. So I had oportunity to photograph summer and corn harvesting time as well. |

Welcome to the Dyxum Rudolf
The office I used to work in was next to a large town bus station and we would often see 'strange looking photographer' standing around taking photos of the less common buses. And in a previous job to that we had one fella who was young (and popular with the ladies), had a fast sports car ... and his hobby was some form of train spotting. He actually rode on the trains he was after (not sure what branch of train-spotting that is). People often poke fun at these 'sports'. But then, I've followed and photographed trams in Lisbon (back in my film days last century). So to me it was just a novel and colorful different type of bus. Also met a small group of Dyxum members at a working railway museum a good few years ago. It was a fun day out. |
