    Hello, everyone. My name is Jay and I am a recent immigrant from a gallery site that rhymes with...shoelace. :D

    I started taking photographing seriously in September 2006, and since then I have fully flung the door open to this world, and planning to become a professional in 4-5 years.

    I live in Aurora, Illinois, so if anyone else lives in this area I would really like to meet you, see what area you find interesting, your cameras, techniques. I am a sponge and I want to absorb all that I can.

    My equipment:
    Nikon D50.
    Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens
    Nikkor 55-200mm with VR
    Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 (love this lens)
    Nikkor 35-75mm
    Quantaray QDC 900WA flash (good value)
    Various filters, tripods, etc.

    And here is me:
    4268247#249959136

    finally a self portrait
    Well I did introduce myself a while ago but did not have a recent self portrait... Decided to shoot one off today - with everyone probably thinking "Wow what a vain bugger taking a photo of himself with his big DSLR..." rolleyes1.gif

    Well here's my ugly mug... 17degC in February on the Island of Mainau on Lake Constance in Germany - what a cracking day it was too!!! short sleeves - in FEB! wings.gif

    Might as Well Start Here.
    I thought it'd be a good idea to introduce myself with my first post.

    Hello. My name is Lee and I'm a cameraholic. I'm getting back into photography after many years away. I did a lot of portfolio work for beginning models back in college during the '80s and early '90s, then I spent the next fifteen years driving for a living. Except for processing color film (which, actually, I'd do at work), I did everything myself: lighting, shooting, printing, retouching.

    Unfortunately, I'm still working were I don't belong. Fortunately, I got my first DSLR a couple weeks ago - a Nikon D40x with a Tamron 18-250 Macro - and I'm already having a lot of fun with it (except for that first week with it; the one I spent in bed with the worst cold I've ever had! :cry) I plan to build a studio and shoot everything big and small that I possibly can and shoot outdoors, too. But my biggest dream is to do studio automotive photography.

    I found DGrin earlier this evening and I can see that I'll be very glad that I did. (In just a couple hours of lurking, I've seen some absolutely fantastic photography here at DGrin, and I hope to someday be half as good as many of you here.) I think I'll especially like the assignments. I was thinking of starting something similar at another forum (non-photographic, but many there share their pictures), but now I don't have to. I can do the assignments given here.

    I'll post a self portrait when I get one. But, being that I'm the typical photographer - you know, the kind who prefers being behind the camera - it may take a while for me to take one. . . . In fact, it may take a lot of whiles. rolleyes1.gif

    Here are some samples of the work I did back in the old days. Please excuse the quality, but I copied them with a Nikon CoolPix L11 (my pre-D40x days) and a "Studio in a Box" lighting set-up. I hope they'll qualify me as a DGrinner.

    I've forgotten this lovely lady's name. Oh yeah! Angel!

    Me....
    Hi there, my name's Amanda...

    I have been interested in photography since i was about 13/14.... I am now 19, so I am a bit of an amature in compared to some of you :P

    I have only reciently had the funds to invest in anything other than cheep lenses and equipment - over christmas i purchaced the canon 85mm f.1.8 and the canon 50mm f/1.8 (the cheap one lol) however i am wanting to invest in some studio lighting and a good printer that i can use on location... well eventually

    so I ask that you are patient with me as i have very little experience of the "gargon" that you use, but i am here to learn and learn i shall (well i hope, thats if my little brain can take it)

    any way hello from me. i hope to get to know some of you soon

    HI all .. My name is Omair, but you can call me amrush ..

    I've been interested in photgraphy ever since i don't remember when .. i got my first camera when i was 16 .. a nikon coolpix 4300, i shot many good pictures .. (to be shown later ..) .. few years later i broke the camera and it's irrepairable ..

    Last December, I bought a Nikon D80 with 18-135 .. and a nikon 70-300 lens came along .. shot few good shots .. mostly family and friends (who buys a dSLR to shoot pictures of family and friends, but hey i bought it right before the global holiday season) .. and then I had my semester finals so i've been cramped up here and couldn't do much with it .. but i'm looking forward to use to it's fullest .. and i think i'm gonna need some tips from experts, which explains why i joined the forums ..

    so welcome me with a hug and a warm chocolate mug .. hehe .. :ivar

    And since there seems to be so many riders on here, I guess I can post a picture of me on my motorcycle. It's not really a self-portrait and isn't the greatest quality, but oh well. Hopefully you'll allow it. ne_nau.gif
