clauder Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Member of PN since March 2003, lurking in the wedding forum (and others) since it's beginning... although not a wedding shooter, this forum gives the most practical tips n tricks, applicable to most forms of shooting (i.e. the series on fill flash etc) Patrick, how about a query comparing the activeness of the diffrent forums?

pmj Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'll be happy to run all sorts of queries, if Brian approves. But I think that would be more appropriate in the Site Feedback forum. Let's keep this thread for new members' introductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennie farnsworth Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Found and subsequently joined Photo.net back in December 2005 after doing a Google search for a wedding forum. The membership fee is minimal compared to the amount of information, assistance and camaraderie that we've received. Thanks so much for providing such a great website!

think27 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Patrick - Nice chart! It is as I suspected - The forum is growing in participation. Look forward to working with you in NYC for the Central Park wedding... FYI - Eric - The Wedding Forum Idea was brought up by me on March 4, 2004 when Bob Atkins asked for feedback in the moderator forum on two new ideas for forum catagories. That is when I suggested a third new forum... Here is what I said: "...I have another suggestion. There are many inquiries about wedding photography. They end up in the "People" Forum or in unarchived. I know there is a wedding catagory but it is hidden as a sub of People photography. When I mention photo.net to other wedding photographers - they've heard of it...seen it...but didn't realize there was a niche here. If they were to click on "Forums" and saw the catagory [weddings] in the main list - I think it might bring in new members." There was some humor at the suggestion.. One mod said he'd run screaming from a wedding forum but thought it would be popular and useful. I'm so pleased with how it has grown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdp Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I've been a lurker for a few months now.. think I stumbled upon it looking for ideas and perhaps a Google search. Loving the discussions and learning from everyone and just feeding my passion for wedding photography and trying not to be too shy in responding. Can't thank everyone enough for their invaluable input and experience they're prepared to share. Thank you Photo.netters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacy Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'm not "new" here anymore I guess, but I still visit everyday and I have learned so much! So thanks everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurie_m Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Been a PN member for a few years, and first landed on this forum a little over a year ago. Not a wedding photographer but I have shot two weddings, against my will AND better judgement. The help I got through this forum was invaluable. I still pop in regularly because I find the solutions to many wedding photographer challenges are applicable to non-wedding situations. I'm shooting a lot of pet portraits lately and found the discussions on proofing, web design, etc very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawa photographer Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I was an avid reader of photo.net in the late 90s. I liked the discussions so much that I diccovered that my reading time outweiged my shooting time. In the past few months, I have rediscovered PN once again. I am doing more weddings than ever before, so I look forward to coming here to read the comments of like-minded people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy_liebert Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Long time listener, first time caller. Don't remember how and when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulnara Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I was doing a research for flash technics and found this forum, I believe in February. I loved it so much, it kept me awake till morning by reading all the post on the wedding forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim long- cincinnati, ohio Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I've been at pnet for a few years now, but am fairly new to the wedding forums, having shot my first wedding a little less than a year ago (September). I can't remember how I first found the site, though I imagine it was through a Google search for something that pointed me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonya_wilson Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I've been lurking around PN for a while after an initial post about some equipment. The information and people here are priceless. Thank you to everyone who posts here. I've been doing wedding photography since 2003 and finally went full time with it at the beginning of this year. Without PNs plethora of information, I don't think I would be where I am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd frederick Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've been involved with this fine forum since the beginning, but, since there are so many new people here, I'm backing off quite a bit. I look and post occasionally. This forum seems to be growing by leaps and bounds, and is one of the most popular and useful. Good work Mary.

unohuu Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Not new to PN; not new to weddings, but I only recently started visiting the forum. Come to learn and listen and get ideas and find out what works and why; what doesn't and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_d4 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Earlier today, I googled for a San Antonio wedding photographer that would take an apprentice and ended up at this site. It's been 4 hrs and I'm still here hooked up reading all the forums. Great infos !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
