Getting back into it.

Hello everybody! This is my first post on Fstoppers... I've been an amateur photographer for over thirty years, but put the hobby down for quite a while. Recently got rid of all my old film equipment, and put together a decent kit with a used Canon 6D and some decent starter glass, and I'm having a ball.

I'm still learning how to translate my film experience to digital, but I'm having a ball. The hardest thing so far is learning the Adobe CC workflow. I've used photoshop for years, but I'm a little rusty.

I've been taking my 6D with the EF 40mm f/2.8 pancake with me everywhere. It's such a nice compact street camera. I'm loving it.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Chris

HI, Not bad...the first one there's not a lot happening here framing could be better and its bleached out too much. Try to get a person facing you..or doing something...The second one is good but too busy, think of framing, there's a lot going on , did you use a zoom lens? Shooting backs of people isn't all that interesting so you have to wait for the moment...If you cut out the wall in framing you'll see a different take on this shot. Welcome back to the street. Take more!

A bird I have not come across before. In my ignorance I just assumed it was a variety of Toucan.

I feel fortunate to have ben able to capture it with my lens.
