Thanks man. I still consider myself a learner because I still find it hard to see a photo opportunity staring me in the face. It's a Canon 650D dslr I bought about 4 months ago. It came as a kit with a 18-55mm and 75-300mm lens then I bought a 50mm f1.8 lens. Hope to get a 100mm f2.8 macro and a 28mm f1.8 USM when finances permit.

Seems like you hit the 3000 mark just in the nick of time.
