Very nice Home you guys have made, very friendly and helpful.
I am new to the Village and this looks like a great place to learn and then post examples of what I learn and also to make improvements with helpful ideas.
I have been looking around and your Forums are great the way it is, very organized.
The only thing I can't figure out is how to find out is when something was posted. I can't find a way or I dont see the date or time a post was made. Is it in one of the options in my User Section?
I haven't had the Photography Bug for many years, and Digital is a great new way to express yourself. I have a Canon P&S SD450 which is a great little camera but very limiting and I found that the camera wasn't able to keep up with me. My wife and I had been at a Formal Event and when I was shooting Candids my camera couldn't keep up with the pace. Very frustrating with a little of the Reality Check thrown in at an in appropriate moment.
I just got my first Digital SLR (two weeks ago) after researching out the choices , and find it makes me feel like a Dinosaur! LOL Bracketing Exposures, Changing the Metering, Changing the timing and power of Flash and everything combined to make a great exposure. Very over whelming when we used to do this manually.
I am trying to learn my Nikon D80, and I gravitated to Elements for my Digital Darkroom. I have an old version of Photoshop and found it kind of frustrating when trying to apply what I read on the net into practice. Great learning experience, and I'm looking forward to the sharing of this learning process of both the camera and digital darkroom experience with everyone here.
I used to be someone who tried to make a living out of Photography so I could afford better equipment. The Hobby of Photography was always expensive and having this Hobby pay for itself was a great benefit to being able to play. Cant do this now! LOL :eek: Now its purely Art for Art sake.
I got back into Photography after we (my wife and I) had taken some great vacations and playing with the small P&S. I found that I liked Digital Photography, I just needed a better camera to do the things that I was used to from the "Old Days with 35mm".
I haven't seen it done, so I will find out if its a rule to not be broken? I see that you have a gallery, and I had posted a couple of shots that I thought would be interesting for the new friendly competition. But I will link a shot from here to see about the reaction. LOL
This shot was taken with my little P&S and thought that the 5MP held up.
