encontrarme (con nuevas herramientas)

Non-PRO español al inglés Otros General / Conversación / Saludos / Cartas
Am I right in thinking that "encontrarme" means "to get to know" in the following text (a photographer talking about his work)?

El tema por los flashes comenzó luego de un workshop ..... Dónde me introdujeron a este nuevo universo de posibilidades que nos brinda el uso de flashes externos.

Tuve ahí mi primera experiencia y al encontrarme con nuevas herramientas y poder seguir aprendiendo cada vez más, eso fue suficiente para agarrarme e interesarme más en el tema.

Any help appreciated!

Imagine the photographer in the workshop and surrounded by tools that perhaps he had never seen before in real life.

'Encontrarme' here means 'I came face to face with'.
