    Hi everyone!
    My name's Chris, and I live in the UK in Nottingham.
    I currently work as an IT Trainer for the NHS, but am due to retire next year, so I will need a new hobby!.
    I've recently got back into photography during the COVID pandemic, and got myself an EOS90D with a few lenses.
    I originally got into photography years ago, mainly taking motorsport photos, and used to develop my own film - I still have a Canon AE1 35MM SLR which I still use now and again with B&W film. (Ilford FP4 if anyone can remember that!)
    I'm now taking more photos, but really need to get to use/understand all of the 90D features so here I am :)

    Welcome to the forum Chris! Don't hesitate to ask questions or YouTube search what you what to know (there's 1000's of good videos about using DSLRs). Between the community and YouTube I think we can help with any feature you want to know.

    That AE-1 is a classic camera glad to see you still use it. Sadly I don't shoot my film gear much anymore. I think the packs of Velvia and Portra in my fridge expired in 2010 :eek:. I surely remember PF4/PanF./Dela, although I shot mostly TMAX which I rolled myself back then. I started with a K1000 SE which was the other extremely popular photo class camera, both are built like a tank, simple and intuitive to learn the basics.
