I got into this site from the tutorial on Dan Margulis Lab photo. I worked with a pro photog on some of my images, and I was mightily impressed! He raved about Dan's LAB book. So I have both of Dan's book coming in the next week or so.
I'm into macro/microscope photography and will be entering some images in three competitions in the next three weeks.
I used to do a lot of photography, but kind of quit and moved into fine art oil-painting, drawing, etc. But, now with digital photography I've got control without all the film hassles, and I love it.
I do a lot of portrait and figure drawing, I taught life drawing when I was at the University of Michigan. A website with some of my art is: http://www.cspot.org/portfolio/ click on Browse and then on my name, David G. Harris.
Thanks for posting, and for de-lurking

Hello, everyone! My name is Elizabeth, and this is my first post on the forums. I'm a high school special education teacher, yearbook advisor, and photographer. I chose to use Smugmug for web fulfillment of my youth sports, portrait, and event photography image orders, as I felt the interface was much more user friendly for potential customers.
Recently widowed, I have two sons, ages 14 and 10. Keeping up with them and my other ventures is certainly challenging!
I've been happily addicted to photography for the past 20 years. After much trial and error with film, the switch to digital has been a godsend. I truly enjoy every minute I spend with my 20D and beloved prime lenses. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone on this forum. :

Welcome, Liza! If you were to put your smugmug URL in your profile or your signature, we could all see what you're up to!
Thanks, David! I think I've fixed it. Most of my work is password protected, but I do have a public gallery of macro work I've done with my new 100mm lens.

breakthrough OK , this is my attempt at "de-lurking" .My daughter told me about dgrin about three weeks ago. I just got a new digital camera and love playing with it..someday I might get brave enough to try a challenge..You are all so talented and have good ideas.
Having no self-portrait handy, I'm introducing myself here. I haven't been lurking, but I have been on Smugmug for about 9 months now and I love it! I started getting "serious" about photography 6 years ago and just went digital last year. Most of my work has been with subjects other than people. I love cityscapes, landscapes, and wildlife. However, last year I began a concerted effort towards developing my "people skills" and I've found that I really enjoy it. You can check out my galleries here.

I've been on smugmug since Jan.05, and somehow missed out on this forum so far. Glad to know that the people behind the screens are on this forum and wanted to give a thumbs up to them - smugmug's been fantastic so far (everytime I wished I had a particular feature, my wishes were answered within days - way to evolve guys!).
As for me - I am a Northern California resident. My smugmug mostly has travel memories: http://chandi.smugmug.com
I recently got a Sony R1, and am overwhelmed by the entire new world of photography opening up to me. At the moment, I LOVE playing with shallow depth of field, and I just can't get enough of it.
*EDIT* Sorry I didn't realize the thread is in sports section - I somehow was convinced this is "THE" thread to come out of lurk mode and posted what I thought was one of my better shots. And no, I don't have any sports shots (unless you consider the above snail as racing with other nearby snails ) Sorry again - next time I'll be more careful before vandalizing threads...
How about a prize for long time posters that go lurk for awhile:D
Nice idea Andy

First SM Pic Post
My name is Ed and I moved here from another photo host a few months ago. SM offers the best viewing experience and the most viewing options of any site I've found, and the support can't be matched!I'm not really a lurker, because I've only been on the forums a couple of times, but will start visiting more often. There is a wealth of information here but unfortunately, only 24 hours in a day.
I shoot mostly motorsports and here are a couple of examples.
This was one of my early attempts at photographing motorcycles on a road course.
And this was from a dirt track race just last Saturday.
If you enjoy motorsports photography, there are many more in the gallery link below. Please feel free to leave comments and/or critiques. I'm new at this stuff and still on the low end of a very high learning curve.
Welcome Chandi.......really nice snail might want to move it up to nature..tho I was expecting something kida sporty
Really nice site you have there....keep up the sharing
Thanks Scott. As for the sporty - can't you tell the snail was racing other snails around
Very sorry - I didn't realize that the thread is in 'sports' section. Somehow I was convinced this is 'THE' thread to come out of lurk mode and posted what I thought was one of my better shots. Sorry again for vandalizing the thread....
Here I am...I follow directions well
Ahhhh...I've been De-Lurkified!
My name is Mike and I bought a F717 6 months ago. I just wanted a cam that could take indoor shots of my kids growing up but I found when I looked through the EVF, there's a whole world out there with a fascinating perspective.
I love to take shots of people and Infrared. I really like to see how a single shot can evoke emotion or tell a story. I've taken a couple thousand pics so far and found only a couple that really grab me. I'm still learning how to view the world in rectangles...
I'm an Electrical Engineer and really love the techie stuff but have a creative side that I express through photography, music, woodworking and cooking (yep, cooking - ever seen Food Network? Lots-o-creativity there!)
I really like how you all bend toward the creative side - I really appreciate those who push my thinking and perspective.
I've tried to attach a shot from this past weekend - I wanted to compose the shot to draw your eye to my son and get an idea that he is longing to find the hidden "treasure" scattered around the yard. I didn't want a face shot because his expression would distract from the simplicity of his mission.
Looks like the kids had fun hunting Easter Eggs. Mine just sat and cried.......

Hi my name is Ryan I've been a member with smugmug since December.
I have not done alot of posting here in the forums and never posted any over my images, mainly just asking questions or just commenting on great photos I've seen here.
I love to take shots/pictures of NYC or anything in the city that I see, that catches my interest.
I am a graphic designer, thats loves photography and sometimes I get to use my photos in my work, some of my photos have been published in several books I designed. I also like to show my photos to people and I have done a couple of art shows which I enjoyed.
I want to say thank you to everyone here who has helped me out with this whole website and design thing. So far my experience here has been nice and great, hope to stay with smugmug for a while.
I was just reading the opening post of this thread and was wondering what I might have to add by posting a picture that really makes you 'feel' something. I mostly do dance photography and especially Latin American dancing produces some nice expression. Here's an example:
I have been a latin dancer myself and pics like this give me goose bumps... how about you?

I have been a member of smugmug since Nov 2004. This is my first time to the forum.
I have recently bought a 350D which is an intimidating commitment to my photography for me.
I want to improve both my technique and my technical capabilites, but I am having difficulty. I know I must push on....
The picture below was taken with my old fujifinepix, not to long ago. I thought it was suitable for my first.....
