    Hi all,

    This is my first post, but I am excited about adding more. Not a great shot, but appropriate considering that I am often relegated to the garage (and freezing). I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed lurking and am looking forward to posting more shots once I feel more comfortable with my camera and equipment.

    i think that's a great shot. abeit fuzzy and slightl OOF, but good none the less.

    Thanks, that was my first shot at a long exposure and I didn't realize how hard it is to hold still (especially when the smoke from the cigarette was getting in my eyes). No real adjustments in RAW or Photoshop either.

    Hi there,
    I'm here in this forum since today and on smugmug since 8 days. Still thinking about getting a pro account or not.
    Am over at flickr still, but besides the great community it gets a tad restricted in regards of sales, etc.
    Anyway, here's one of my latest shots:

    Ah, I really start to hate the "newbie" title :Drolleyes1.gif
    Somehow, wherever I go I am a newbie :) And there are lots of people who are using this in a negative context, like someone who knows nothing headscratch.gif

    But I know what you meant, and I'm not blaming you. Actually, I agree. We are newbies :) But only by the number of posts ;)


    Thank you for your welcome and feel free to guide us through the forums and help us out if needed. deal.gif

    first post
    I'd like to say hello and introduce myself as a noob on the site. I've always been interested in photography and am looking forward to learning a lot from the collected wisdom here. My Nikon D70S can do a lot more than I have given it a chance to. I know the photographer is even more important than the equipment so thats why I joined today. Heres the self pic the thread asks for. Just a spur of the moment snapshot, but I'm in my glory. :D

    Well, hi there, my very first post. Well let me tell you a bit 'bout my self. I’m located in sunny Southern California, near Ontario Airport. I'm a very armature wedding photographer wanting to become a great one. I got into this because of desire, and a bit of circumstances. My brother-in-law was getting married last April, and since he didn't have much money, they decided not to hire a wedding photographer. There idea was to get some disposable cameras and leave them at each table for the guest to take pictures with. After that they would collect them all, and from those pictures they would create there album. After reading the horror stories of this bad idea, I got the guts to tell them I would do there wedding. Hey at least I knew I could do better then disposable cameras! Got my XT w/ grip, Tamron 28-75, 430EX and 2GB of CF with my Epson P-2000 to store the pictures with. Yeah, a bit (k, a lot) under-geared. But that’s all I had at the time. Well the day went well and they were very happy with the pictures they got, and I got the bug from there. I did my brother-in-law's wife’s cousin (got that?) wedding because they were in the same circumstances he was. Now I’m doing a third wedding this March and I know I’m booked for 2 more weddings sometime this year when the B&G finally make up there mind on the day. I cater to a niche market. I only want to do Jehovah Witnesses weddings since I’m one my self. I figure since I know the ups and downs, couples would be more comfortable with me and my wife. I want to offer the best possible attitude, professionalism, friendliness and products that I can. Well I know I said a bit, but just wanted to do a good intro. Thanks for reading it.

    PS: Is there a wedding forum? If not, what forum would be sutible to discuss wedding related posts? Thanks.

    greetings!
    Greetings! I came over to DGrin after reading about this site in the row over the changes at FredMiranda. I've been a member there for almost two years with the same screen name. As a way of introduction, here I am in Jamaica last summer.
