NEW GUY! But don't even think about trying any hazing stuff.
Since I can't seem to find the Introductions forum (is there one? If so, where is it hidden?), I figured I'd introduce myself here.
I'm WillCAD. Will is my name, CAD is my job - Computer-Aided Drafting. I make maps for a large civil engineering firm.
I got interested in photography because of two things - 1) one of my best friends is a wedding photographer, and 2) as you can see from my signature, I am an over-the-top, fanatical, Cool-Aid-drinking cultist about Walt Disney World, and wanted to bring back some nice images to help me remember my trips.
I'm not a heavy photographer; I just shoot my vacations, and once in a while a family function.
I own two SLRs and a faux SLR:
Canon EOS Rebel G
Sigma 28-80 3.5-5.6
Sigma 28-200 3.5-5.6 Hyperzoom Macro
Canon Digital Rebel 300D
Canon 18-55 (kit lens)
Sigma 18-125 3.5-5.6 (just got it a few weeks ago)
Canon Speedlite 220EX
Fuji Finepix S602Z
Sunpak El Cheapo hot shoe flash
The only camera I use these days is the 300D with the Sigma 18-125. I'm a casual photographer and don't like lugging extra lenses around, which is why I went with the 28-200 and 18-125 lenses, which have a good range of zoom for the type of shots I take.
Ninety percent of the pics I take in a given year are during my Disney World vacations. Mostly that's because I lead a pretty dull and boring life and don't have a lot of potential subjects, though.
I don't know how active I'll be in this forum, but I'll enjoy reading up on new euipment and techniques, and once in a while I might have something to contribute. I am active on a daily basis in 5 or 6 Disney World vacation planning forums, where I help others plan their Disney trips and get the most fun for their buck, and maybe help them to experience a few little details that most people miss.
So, I'll just go back to lurking for a while now...
