After only 4 hours I gained confidence in using the manual setting and kind of "got" what ISO, aperture and shutter speed were about - not that I can explain it to you, but I can do the adjustments on my camera to get close to what I want. I learned the limitations of my camera and "found" stuff on there I never knew existed - and I've had the camera for more than 6 years. It was well worth the time and money.
Kangaroo Point has so much happening, too - a spot to return to.
