Better late than never

Hello to all wherever you may be...
I actually joined back in November of 2010 but didn't provide much info at that time. I joined a local camera club in my area late in the summer of 2010. The club meets once a month on a Thursday night. I have night vision problems and only attended 3 meetings before it started getting dark so early I couldn't attend the meetings and was looking for a line of communication with other photographers.

I found the Cambridge site and initially used it for the excellent tutorials. I then started browsing the forums and was amazed at the level of communication exchanged by the members. Had a little problem getting started on the forums (showing my age) but must say that I received nothing but very positive help.

The community members on this site are outstanding and I can't tell you how much knowledge I have gained by the tutorials and also by browing through the forums.

My history with cameras started with an Olympus E-500 in 2006, upgraded to E-30 in 2010 and just recently with an E-5. Use a 14-540 2.8-3.5 II and a 70-300 4.0-5.6

I'll get off my horse now and wish each and every one of you much success in 2011. I again thank all of you who have been so helpful.

Walt, you have a long history of fine Olympus cameras with you. Stick around and become active a little more so we can also learn from your work. Kind regards,

Jiro....thanks for your reply. You seem to be everywhere all the time! I am trying to put more time and effort into my photography and will certainly share as much as I can. By the way, "Spring comes and the grass grows by itself" is very thought provoking. Would you care to elaborate...

- Spring comes and the grass grows by itself -

When there is no 'ego', life flows in it own accord. Hope this helps, Walt. Kind regards,

Ah yes, I know what you mean.
