Intro and Chip

[Ron Lacey]

Hi All

A newbie here but someone suggested I check out these forums as a long time Canon user. Looks like a great place to discuss and learn about photography in general and Canon in particular.

I'm a serious amateur and my main interests are nature and landscape photography though I do have a small portrait studio set up in my basement.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome, It looks as though that chipmunk has some 'm-power' stored in his cheeks.

Hi Ron, Welcome aboard! If you're a serious Canon fanatic, You've come to the right place. Looks like you know your way around Photoshop pretty well too. (I see You've upgraded your mouse.) ;) :D

Thanks Bruce, I do indeed know my way around PS and PSP (I wrote a book on the latter:) ) but these photos weren't edited other than the basic adjustments I always make. I use a portable table top studio to get the high key background and strategically placed sunflower seeds to direct the critters to the desired positions.

Somehow I dont think they're going to complain. They MIGHT ask for more sunflower seeds though. ;)
