Hey everyone!
A friend of mine (Dstanic) suggested I sign up, so I did. I've been lurking for a few days now and I must say, there is some very nice work one here! I'm impressed, I hope one day my ability can be half as good as some of the talent I have been looking at these last couple days!

I picked up a Rebel XSi w/ 18-55mm lens on boxing day. While I was at it I also picked up the EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM lens for $20 off at future shop. Since then I have seen the lens on sale for way more than that.

Up until now I have been playing with different settings on my Casio Exilm-Z120 P&S. I intend to keep it in my bag with my XSi, its done me well over the years, but it won't likely get much more use.

Once I start posting picture you'll probably see me posting just about everywhere I can... basically if you can take a picture of it, I'll try. People, cars, animals, totally random objects, you name it, lol. However I do have to warn you, my photoshop skills lack. All I have ever used is Corel Photo paint, and I'm now discovering I can't do a lot with it.

Well, I'll stop blabbing!

Jamie

Welcome Jamie! I started the same way as you...taking pics of everything and anything. You'll come far if you do lots of reading and really want to get into it...this forum is great for critique! And they WILL be harsh if you want them to really get into the nitty gritty with you.
