Hi Ian, and welcome. You have some very unusual images on your site. I like some of the portraits very much. Why not post one or two here, and see what others think?

Letrow,

Welcome to the group. Would like to see comparative photos from both cameras to see what the issues with the D90 are.

My other camera is a Ricoh GX200, which I find great for macro work.

Welcome to the group.

Looking forward to seeing some of your work.

Hello everyone
I have been lurking in these forums for the last couple weeks and decided to join today. 15 years ago i was really in to photography but after several moves and not enough time my camera and lenses were sold (for cheap if i remember right). I started getting the itch again a few months ago while taking walks with my wife. We walk so slow that i started to get bored and actually pay attention to my surroundings! So i jumped in with a 7d body, 17-85mm f/4-5.6, 55-250mm f/4-5.6, and a 50mm f/1.4. I tried to stay on budget a little with the lenses until i know what stuff i really want to shoot. As my username implies, my first name is Paul

And glad you have done so, Paul. Welcome.

Hopefully, you will have already discovered that things are done in a pretty informal way around here. But that doesn't detract from the enormous and generously shared knowledge and experience that also lurks about. Look forward to seeing some of your images.

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have another Nikon user, I was looking at primarily 4/3 vs Nikon and went with D5000 last May (2009) for the same reasons, although I can't see me going 4/3 or micro 4/3 until the D5000 becomes too heavy to lift ;) Especially now I have 'committed' to Nikon with a total of 3 new bought lenses, plus another 4 old film AI ones.

Anyways, that's way too much for the intro thread, so I'll pipe down and ask a question, if I may - what sort of subjects do you most enjoy photographing?

Best regards,

Hi Don,

Welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have you join us.

If you're occsaionally using NX2, I guess you're also a Nikon shooter - leading to the inevitable question (from me) of; what camera and lenses do you have and what do you take pictures of?

Thanks,

Hi Ian,

Having looked at the first link, you certainly are more interpretive and artistic than I. Your website's not bad either!

As Rob suggests, by all means post some here, we have plenty of Mini Competitions on the go.

Hi Paul,

Does your wife now get bored waiting for you on your walks? ;)
Perhaps give her a camera for her birthday? :)

Now I'm wondering what the "PDX" means :rolleyes:

Welcome to the CiC forums from ...

Vinat,

Your 50mm lens, is it auto focus or manual?

i am trying to study from the manual but i feel lost :(... any advices?

Well I think my wife would certainly be getting bored if she wasnt catching her breath when i find something interesting. She's a wee bit pregnant. :D

PDX is the airport code for Portland Oregon. We portlanders are too lazy to use our own city name.

Ah, I see, congatulations. With a tail wind you should have a small moving target to practice photography on this time next year :)

Hi Chris,

The tutorials were all written by Sean (McQ) the site owner, they are being added to all the time, why not stick around the forums, we usually get a sneak preview in return for a bit of final proof reading :)

Also of course, don't be shy to ask questions.

Hi Elias,

Good to have another Nikon shooter in the forums.

What lens(es) do you have for the D90?

Just nipping across to have a look at one of your pictures; I'm glad you got the posting of images ok.
