Hi all. Just a quick intro. names matt from the uk(telford)

kinda stumbled upon this site and not sure what I want/need from my stay here but y'all seem nice:-)

I like martial arts(krav maga, bjj, muay thai), photography(duh) and lots of other things. no question is taboo or too personal, ask away if you want to know anything

hope everyone is ok today, rubbish weather in my town today!

Hi Matt, I'm a fan of photography too - what do you like to take pictures of?

[photographymatt]

wildlife, martial arts, cars, bugs, people. But anything really. I would love to go full time with my photography in the near future.

[Emphyrio]

Cool - you must have quite a fast lens for indoor martial arts shots then!

Welcome Matt :welcome:good to meet you

[photographymatt]

Hi paige and paula lynne, thank you *bows*

Emphyrio, the last mma fight I shot I took my 50mm 1.8(incase) and used my 80-200 2.8 for most of the night. My camera has oddles of ISO with no grain, so cranked up that sucker and hoped for the best :-) hehe. Didnt bother with flash as they dont like it as it distracts the fights and Im not tough enough (yet) to stand toe to toe with very hard mma fighters.hehe :-D

Hello and welcome Photography Matt, I only joined here last week so i'm new too, its a firendly place.:D
I also used to do photography but when I found I was pregnant last year we ended up selling all our equipment to help fund the new baby!!, I still go on a site called Shutter Nutters that is just all about photography (Hope i've not offended by mentioning another site on here?), they are another friendly bunch and often have days out at various locations, They are mainly based in Wigan but people from all corner of the globe have joined, in fact am off tonight for the monthly pub meeting with them.
