    Dorky PR clubs

    I know some of you have clan O Canon and Nikon samurai logos
    but where is the induction
    is there a hazing involved and how come sony et al haven't joined the fun, or are they just less fanboy-ish about it ut:

    We Nikon shooters started the trend and, as usual, Canon had to copy us...

    Love the Nikon Samurai one however, I am clumsy so a Samurai I can never be. *sad pants*

    All opinions expressed by this person are purely that, opinions which means she doesn't actually know anything about photography.

    We had a lot of fun with this a few years ago. We all like to be identified with our current brand of preference, but we also realize that it's the one releasing the shutter that really counts.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    But, but, but, the man in the camera shop said I would be a much better photographer if I bought his newest model with all the bells and whistles.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Didnīt you know that the quality of pics its directly determined by the money spent in gear?

    You have to read the official field photography manual in its section 1.a first paragraph, second sentence. Itīs pretty clear :lol:

    The hazing for these clubs is too traumatic to mention in the forums. People have been drawn & quartered for even thinking of mentioning the hazing rituals (watching my back as I type!)

    It appears as though something has happened to our K-Team logo. I will attempt to find it.

    Re: Dorky PR clubs

    Yes, apologies for those who were linking to my old graphic, it (along with the Minolta Warrior logo) was deleted when I recently upgraded my web server software. I will work on the MW logo when I get home tonight, but for now, here is the K-Team logo again.



    And the URL to add it into sigs ect is: http://www.alexluyckx.com/images/the-k-team.jpg

    I'm not sure how the Canon club got a clover associated with it.

    I love Canon.

    Love the family portrait Poker. Makes me want to get another of my Nikon family.

    See this post from a couple of years back. I've added two more digital Nikons since then.
