I just joined this forum although I've used the reviews section of this site for years...Long time serious amateur photographer .Started out with Minolta in the late 60's, went to Konica in the early 80's & then on to Nikon in the 90's...Still have my Konica & Nikon MF & AF film gear as well as using a Nikon D70s...I do a lot of macro & dabble in IR as well...I'll post one of my better photos on the online Gallery....It made it to National Geographic online magazine last October...Looking forward to pleasant company & sharing of knowledge!!

Hello,

Been posting on other types of forums for years. Photography forums are new to me. Had a Nikon 995 for years and finally jumped on the DSLR wagon.

If there are other photography forums to participate in, please let me know. I'll probably be doing more reading than posting as my knowledge on this subject is limited at this point.

Hi all,

My name translated to English is Alexander. You can call me Alex if you want. I am originally from Mexico but now living in Canada. Half my family is Canadian and the other half is Mexican.

I currently shoot with a Panasonic DMC-FZ7K and a system of accessories. I have been taking pictures for almost 2 years and look forward to learning from this site and improving my photography. Any advice on my posted photos would be greatly appreciated.

I am happy to help other members with any technical problems, and also provide feedback on their work.

I found PR while searching for places to review my gear.

[walterick]

Welcome Alexander! Enjoy our forums and have fun looking around.

If you want particular feedback on your shots then visit the Photo Critique page where you will get direct, constructive feedback. And if you haven't yet, please take the time to review your gear.

Enjoy the site!
Rick

Hello everyone,
My name is Rex. It's at times like this that I wish it was Ismael.
I live in the Shetland Isles, Scotland.
I've posted a profile that will probably give a better insight to me, than any self depreciating/glorification that I could write here.
I have just changed from film usage to digital, which means I have to learn yet another language, digital jargon.
I chose my Samsung GX10 because of my 50yr association with Pentax and I have the lenses to prove it.
I may over time ask some pretty inane questions. This is because I plead senility, which is a great excuse. I am disgustingly fit which is helped by living on a small island and having a new, young border collie. In dog years he is a teenager and loves eating, he is deaf when he decides to be and very stubborn.
Okay post No. 1 over.
I will now read all the posts in this thread and then branch out

Hi Rex, WELCOME to the forum!
You shouldn't have too much trouble adapting to digital as a good eposure is just that, whether digital or film.
If You have any questions though, feel free to post them. I'm sure someone here will have an answer for You.
You have a Border Collie? Me too! I think they're GREAT even though they are a bit hyperactive.

Pentax had/has some very fine lenses. I use some of their older screw mount models via an M42 to EOS adapter on my Canon 10D.
Oh, I also have a few K mount Pentax cameras, as well as a Spotmatic. :thumbsup:

It would really be great if this site was actually easily navigated. I have been looking for Introductions Forum and a clue as to how to introduce myself for the last 20 minutes. How anyone can figure this out I have no idea, nor do I have that much time. WAAAAY TOO COMPLICATED!!!

I just wanted to say..."STAY AWAY FROM 86TH ST. PHOTO, DBA BROADWAY PHOTO. THEY ARE LIARS, CROOKS, AND WILL SCREW YOU. THEY SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR MISREPRESENTING PRODUCTS. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW. DO YOUR FRIENDS A FAVOR AND SAVE THEM FROM MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE. DON'T LOOK AT THE PRICES OF CAMERAS THEY SELL. IT'S ALL LIES AND DECEIT.

Hi and welcome, sorry you had problems navigating the site. From the "main" page showing all the forums, be sure to scroll down for the Camera Dealer Feedback and Site Feedback forums.

Those two forms would be a better place to address both of those issues, and both should have other information that will help you out. Feel free to send me a PM (private message) if you need any help. Click on my name to the left, then select "Send a private message...".

Greetings everyone. My name is Bryan and I came across this site as a result of a recommendation by a friend. From what I can tell, it looks like it's a great forum, so I'm glad to be here.

I've been shooting for about 3 years, mainly nature and landscapes subjects. I'm slowly (and anxiously) working towards portraits and possibly event photography. I enjoy other types of photography as well, so I guess I'm somewhat of a generalist - whatever peaks my interest at the time .

Best regards,

[demkodslr]

Hello to all here! I'm jd and new to the Forum. My camera is a Canon XTi with a Canon EF 20-35mm 3.5-4.5 and a Canon 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS.My photographic interests center around outdoors, especially sports and nature but I'm looking to move into more indoors and portraits as I'm going to do some informal photography at a relative's wedding next Spring.
I'm hoping to learn lots about all phases of photography and look forward to dealing with everyone here. Thanks in advance!!!

Heya! My name is Andy, and I live in the Rochester,NY area. I've been a broadcaster for the last 23 years, with an occasional interest in photography and shortwave radios. I decided to go back to school a few years ago, and have been taking photography courses at the local Community College. I love being able to compose and develop my own images, and have become a man possessed. My main rig is my trusty Pentax K1000 with a 50 and 70-210 zoom lenses. My new baby is a Mamiya C220 w/105mm lens. I can't seem to get enough shooting time with the C220 lately. I also own a great Panasonic Lumix digital, but still seem to like film better.

[walterick]

Welcome Andy! Nice to see another film user find our site! Make sure you check out our Film Forum for a whole bunch of dedicated film enthusiasts. We are one of the few web sites now catering to the film passion.

Enjoy the rest of our site and have fun looking around!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Luis Vega and in the Antelope Valley Area in Southern California. I bought my first DSLR about 8 months ago Canon XTi w/ lens kit. I've purchased the 50mm 1.8Lens about 2 weeks ago.

I have been reading lots of posts here and I have found this site to be priceless. Lots of great information and great contributors.

I have fallen in love with photography; it looks like the more you learn the more you want to shoot. I'm interested in sports photography, specially baseball.

Thank you all for your comments and looking forward to learning and contribute as well to others. See you around!!

[walterick]

Welcome Luis! I am glad to hear you are enjoying the site and that you are loving photography! It really is a wonderful and addicting hobby.

Enjoy!
Rick
