I Emailed an old forum friend (Harryb) last March when I bought my new camera becuase I couldn't find him on dpreview . . . he Emailed me back that he was hanging out on Digital Grin. Well it took me three months to get around to joining . . . and no I am not always that slow . . . well maybe that's up for individual interpretation. Harry and I used to converse on the Sony Forum when we both had F717s.
Now I have graduated to a DSLR, Nikon D50. Even have a few cheap lenses, 18-55mm, 70-300mm G, and a 50mm F/1.8. Better lenses will have to come later, current budget and expenses, what with my Daughter getting married this month.
I like this photo taken with my cheap 70-300mm lens, F/11, 270mm, 1/1000 sec, ISO 200, and I used my old SunPak 383 for fill and to try and help freeze the little fellows wings.

I was rather pleased with this picture since so many members on that other forum told me what a piece of manure this lens was.
I guess the only thing left to say is, "Hi guys, I'm the new guy on the street."
