Downunder dude

I’m a 16 year old passionate photography enthusiast from Western Australia and I mainly shoot landscapes and some wildlife. I’m a regular reader of Photoplus and first got into photography after I got my first DSLR on my 12th birthday, a Canon EOS 600D. This was a big change from my point-and-shoot camera, teaching myself different perspectives with shooting things. I really discovered a love of landscape photography after travelling all around Australia, including over 1600km along the WA Highway, and over to Queensland. I’ve attached my most recent photograph I shot with my full-frame Canon 6D I use at the moment, and you can see my full gallery at www.jakebarac.com.

Thanks for the email, Jake, it’s great to hear from our younger readers and also from someone Downunder, too. Your sunset shot is a cracker, well exposed and composed, and if this is standard of your photography at 16 years old, we look forward to seeing more of your images in the future.

How old were you when you got your first Canon DSLR?
