Welcome!!

Thanks hminx. Me too! Hopefully get out a bit this weekend, and we may even have some sun as a bonus.

Very helpful set of links -- thanks

Hello folks, My name is John Crosby and I am a relative Novice, even though I have had a Nikon camera for several years. My first one was a D5000 which I loved, however it was stolen from my house last August, which is quite upsetting. I now have a D7000 and am still trying to learn about it. I love taking pictures of almost anything, especially nature. I look forward to learning a lot from everybody on the forums.

Hey Andrew, I look forward to learning as well. The joke was funny. Happy Snapping!

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum. I am taking an online photography course thru the local CC and this is one of the links she shared with us so I thought I might check it out. I have always been interested in photography and with all the travel my BF and I have been taking I have been taking a lot of pictures. I thought it might be nice to try to up my game and take better pictures. I am looking forward to learning from everyone.

Hi and welcome John, good to see another D7000 shooter.

Welcome lisacay, looking forward to seeing what you learned at CC, post some shots and the members here are always willing to help where we can

Ha-ha....I have a Leica M-3 but have not done film photography in awhile....maybe I should just for nostalgia. I am currently using an Olympus E-Volt 500 as I am a novice and don't have tons of $ right now...probably never will with kids and grand kids. I love to help them out from time to time. My grandfather always said " To help someone you love is a good thing but to be an enabler is a sin to them and yourself."

Hey all,

My name is Cardon, and I don't really have any decent photography gear but I do know I like it and want to get some. I like to take pictures of nature (specifically hiking trails), and I also like to take pictures of figurines. I'm pretty indecisive when I have to many options to choose from because I fear I don't know enough information about everything and I'll get burned so I am hoping I can get some help narrowing down the options to something I can manage that will fit my needs.

Hi. My name is Sherman. I am new here. This is a wonderful site.

Greetings, Just joined up today :) have been looking for a good Camera Forum for a while now and recently found this one, thought I'd check it out. I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ28 10.1mp Camera and mainly take sports pictures, but I dabble in all styles. Have been getting into Photography quite heavily as of late. Have always been interested and played around with photography, but recently I have begun taking pictures and videos of games at my local paintball field. I am part of the fields home team, so I help out and take as many photos as I can to promote the field. I enjoy the simplicity of my Lumix, but there is always room for improvement, right? So, I was wondering, does anyone have any suggestions on a better sports camera that might be able to keep up with the fast pace game of Paintball? Also, any tips or tricks to better use what I already have would be much appreciated as well :)

Thank you, I hope to learn much from all of you,

Kermit out.

Hey folks, another newbie here.

Joined up because I fairly recently purchased my first digital SLR and am looking to learn more about photography. I've been hoping to find someplace that I can share some photos and get some feedback from people who know quite a bit more than I do. :)

I have a Nikon D5100, with nothing more than the kit lens. I have an urge to buy other things, but I'm trying to resist until I can at least prove I'm semi-competent and starting to understand photography a bit!

Look forward to chatting with you all...

Many thanks! :)

Hello all, former Olympus shooter, new Canon shooter here from Texas. Haven't looked at many photo forums that didn't have to do with 4/3rds but now branching out. Will have plenty of Canon questions I'm sure.

Glad to have you join us on PR, Will! And from one Canon shooter to another, welcome to the dark side :)

Thanks Ken!

Me. I'm new here. Been into photography for several years. I've got myself into a bit of a mess where I'm torn between 2 different mounts. Will probably be seeking advice in specific sub-forums on how to consolidate.

Welcome aboard Kinkajou, having options is not a bad thing, hope we can help.

Hello! I'm newbie to the forum and excited to join. I would like to buy a dslr camera this weekend and would love some advice. Thanks.
