SunsetCascade's photostream

Gday! I'm Cassy, a 16 year-old amateur photographer from Australia. Photography has taught me to value the world around me, urban and natural. This became my biggest passion after I got my first digital camera 3 years ago.

I live in a town called Bundeena, located in the Sutherland Shire of Sydney. Being neighbours with the Royal National Park, Bundeena has been a beautiful place to grow up in and has greatly influenced my artistic flair. I have access to 6 stunning beaches, wildlife, rivers and rainforest 2km from my home. Also, I'm only a 20 minute ferry trip away from Cronulla where I can get photos of urban landscapes and surf.

I haven't been very popular with technology in the past few years, so there have been 5 different cameras through my experience with photography including:
- the Fujifilm Finepix 810, an 8 megapixel point-and-shoot ideal for someone just wanting to capture those precious memories like I did some 4 years ago.
- the waterproof Olympus UTough 8000, when I started to feel a love for the ocean.
- the Olympus SP800UZ, a 14 megapixel ultra-zoomer which I still use today,
- the iPhone 3GS, for those times where a camera isn't appropriate (such as school),
- my newest addition being the Canon Eos 550D with Tamron's 28-300 f/3.5-6.3 and Canon's 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 and 55-250 f/4.5-6.

Being inspired by my hometown and other photographers around me I have been improving with my skills and I hope to gain a career in photography in the near future. It'll be interesting to see how all my Flickr contacts grow in the future with their new experiences, stories and photography skills.
