Kia ora from New Zealand

Clearly very very new to Alamy (3 photos woop!). 

I have already prepped myself on the need to create a sizeable portfolio of imagery which is consistently updated with a wide variety of subjects.

Thought I would just come here and say hello. I have been going on a bit of a snoop through the forums which so far have been extremely useful in answering my many questions. Big thank you to the regulars for giving very clear helpful advice.

Hi Stef, welcome. Looks like you're off to a good start! You can also be successful specialising in your backyard (New Zealand), as you've got something unique there that a lot of people don't get to see. Have a particular look on the Forum for advice on captions and keywording - it will save you a lot of trouble in the long run if you don't have to go back in the future and redo a lot of pictures (been there, done that!). There's also a lot of helpful stuff under the Portfolio Critique.

Once summer arrives I'll definitely be getting a lot more photos of our scenery which should be quite joyful to do. Definitely going to be using the forums a lot to check how best to do captioning and keywording. Thanks for your advice Steve
