New here!

Hi everyone! :) I'm new here. My name is Mandy, and I'm 17 (will be 18 in 12 days hehe :p ) I live in South Florida and I've always been into photography but it wasn't until recently that it really became my hobby.. my boyfriend of over a year got me a Nikon D50 for our anniversary and I haven't put it down since. I'm hoping I can post my photos here and get feedback from them and maybe make some new friends and learn more about my hobby, hehe :D

Welcome to the most friendly photo Web site on the Internet, Mandy. A D50 is a hell of a gift for a teenager. Congratulations. You scored big - with the camera, I mean. Don't know anything about your boyfriend :)

If you want to get feedback on your photos, you'll do best to post them on the Photo Critique forum. That's exactly what it's for.

Welcome! Look forward to your contributions.

Welcome - yeah, that's a pretty nice gift! And an early happy birthday... :)

Thanks everyone! I feel so welcomed already ^_^
