steve_robb1 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well, like the subject said... "Hello Everyone!". I've just recently joined up so I thought I should pop by and say G'day before I start bombarding the place with questions. Over the past, I don't know, probably four years, whenever I've had a camera/photography related conundrum, I'd do web searches, and nine times out of ten end up at some site called "photo.net". I could always find the answer I was looking for, and there always seemed to be someone much less embarrassed than myself to ask a "silly" question, which really helps us shy folks out. I'd always think "Wow, this is a really helpful site, and (almost) everyone seems really genuine and helpful, giving concise and respectful answers. I really must remember this site." ...of course, within five minutes I would have forgotten it again! Anyway, I was planning to write a little about myself and my photographic history (not all that exciting or lengthy though), but it's been so busy at work that this is the first chance I've had to post. Every day for the past two months I've opened up half a dozen threads, then slowly through the course of the day managed to read one or two of them, never actually had the chance to post. Did make the time to sign up last week though, I thought that would inspire me to make an appearance! Well, I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of you on here, and thanks again for the great resource! Cheers, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsfyfe Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Welcome Steve. The community is fun, informative, controversial, opinionated, friendly, helpful, and above all, filled with some very good photographs. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles_Webster Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Steve, a bit of advice. Ignore the "Ratings Game" and shoot for yourself. Look at as many pictures here as you can, and try to learn from each of them. From the bad ones, learn what makes a failed picture, from the good ones, learn what makes a successful picture. Comment on other peoples pictures, not just "Gee this is great" but meaningful comments that describe how a picture affects you, and people will comment on your pictures. Don't take anything here personally, it is after the internet ;-) <Chas> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_robb1 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 What a warm welcome, I should have done this years ago when I first found you guys ;) ...and Leszek, believe me, I have! My main bodies's are the humble old Pentax ME Super's. I've always had an affinity for them, the small light size is just so easy to handle.
