Well, after many trials and tribulations, I finally decided to dump my old handle, and return as Addies Granddaddy. For whatever reason, the login page kept kicking me out, telling me my username/password wasn't being accepted.....so.......exit swmdrayfan and enter Addies Granddaddy! This one fits better anyway.
I haven't done much in the way of photography these past few months, other than taking oodles of pictures of my granddaughter, Addison.
Time to look around and get re-acquainted.

Hello Everyone!
I have been lurking around here for awhile and finally decided it was time to join in the fun. I was part of another forum, but I quickly got the impression that if you weren't packing a several thousand dollar camera or had your own website then you were clearly not up to their status!
I recently purchased a Nikon D40 ( complete compulsive purchase, wish I would have researched a little more) and am trying to become fluant in manual mode I would consider myself more of a snapshot kinda person, giving very little thought to settings and creative exposures...which is why I am here LOL! I really enjoy photography and would really like to learn more and become better!
Welcome Charlotte! You've made a great purchase with the D40. No need to second-guess yourself. From what you're describing of your photography habits, it should suit you perfectly well!
When you're feeling ready, please post a review of that D40. It helps our site!
Also don't miss the How-To section for tips on learning your camera!
Have fun

My name is jim and I'm a new member but old reader of this forum. i've found it to be a reasonable and realistic source for lens and camera reviews and as a registered user I'll try to add my own $0.02.
So it's nice to be here, sounds like a good community and looking forward to revisiting often!
You're not new! But re-welcome anyway! If you'd like to try and reestablish your old handle, try posting your problem in the Site Feedback forum so Photo-John and the administrators can have a look.
Welcome back.
