Hello, my forum name is Kevinhooa, but my real name is just Kevin. I've been doing photography since 2001, and enjoy every bit of it. I've been a member of a number of other forums for a while now (mainly motorcycle, abandoned, ect...) and I don't know why I waited so long to find a good photography forum, but I'm glad I found one. Here's to enjoying things on Dgrin amongst good photos and great people.

Hi

I'm Rob Marshall. I used to be with Clickpic but I could never spell it, and their interface isn't a patch on Smug. I can spell Smug!

I'm finding this a very helpful forum, especially in setting up my coding for my site. So thanks for all that. This is a good site. Here is me http://www.robmarshall.net/ (http://www.robmarshall.net/)

On a hike in the Little Knife River Valley, following the explorer Verendrye's trail, I found an abandoned roadbed with an ancient culvert. I set my camera on the nearby fencepost, clicked the self timer and pose, skeptical that it would work. It did work.

[olafurdanielsson]

Hi everybody - just wanted to introduce myself, since I´m new on this Forum, and also reasonably new to photography.
My name is Ólafur and I live in Iceland. I just got my first dSLR one year ago, and I have been reading quite a lot about photographing and photo manipulation (in software) ever since. However, I have not experienced enough myself behind the camera yet. My favourite photography is landscapes - perhaps because I live in Iceland.

Please feel free to view my smugmug, the link is olafurdanielsson.smugmug.com - and please leave comments and critique, and "thumb up" or "thumb down".
Best regards,
Ólafur

Hey everyone. Newbie here. Just purchased my first real camera (sony alpha a33) for a project I'll be working on this summer involving motorcycles and some other stuff. Camera exp. is pretty low. I took photography in highschool but didn't take it too seriously (dark room was used more to spend time with the fairer of the sexes) a regret I have now. Couse that was back in the "old days" of film :wink. Here is a self portrait and a few others from the first two weeks of the memory card.

Hi All,
New here as well, referred from another forum (not photography related). No self portraits, will have to work on that :D

Here's some shots I took since getting my new to me Nikon D100. I know, ancient by any means but it fits the bill and I love having to work for my shots! (and it works like a charm with a 50mm 1.8 prime :clap).

Allow me to introduce myself.

Internet has been my photography teacher thus far and it was not until a while ago that I found this forum. I started off just reading through different topics (lurker? :D) but then I was amazed how I feel so comfortable with this forum that I keep coming back to find more info. So I decided to make an account and join in.

Finally, I really hope to learn and share with all of you. Thanks for reading.

Hello, Photographers!

My name is Scott Ungerecht and I'm a digital photographer who lives in Baker City, Oregon (but, I was born in Anchorage, Alaska). I'm also brand new to the SmugMug community!

I'm currently a 14-day trial member of SmugMug, but I plan on paying for a "Power Membership" in the next few days. If you want to see my images, you can visit my website at http://www.scottuimages.smugmug.com.

I also discovered the Digital Grin forum on Google and I wanted to introduce myself. I've been taking digital pictures since 2004, but I've never sold anything before. I'm also a self-taught photographer.

The reason I joined SmugMug is because I wanted a great place to show my photos online. I spent months searching for the right home, and I finally chose SmugMug. I really like SmugMug's excellent hosting features and their theft-protection features for my images. It is a very cool place!

The reason I joined the Digital Grin forum is because I'm looking for mentors and feedback from professional photographers who actually earn a full-time living selling their pictures by using SmugMug hosting services. I would love to do the same thing, too, and I'm hoping this is the right place to find great advice from professional photographers.

In addition, I plan to be an active participant in the Digital Grin forum by reading and posting my supportive comments where they are appropriate. If you want to see my mug, just visit my profile page on this forum, or please visit my website address above.

Also, please feel free to contact me anytime by email. My email address is scottu21072 [at] gmail.com. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm an Aussie and I live in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, around 50km east of Melbourne. I'm new here to Smugmug. I'd known about it for a long time but kept dismissing it - mainly because I thought those buying from me would be in Australia and I didn't want to subject them overseas freight and currency. But, it seems, that it's tourists instead and I've rethought things. I opened a trial account on Saturday and paid for the account on Sunday after playing with the system a bit. I wonder if that's the shortest trial on record? My passion is nature and landscapes - I live in a beautiful area that draws many tourists all year round. I set this shot up January last year after my husband and I had settled into our new home and office. Looking forward to getting to know others here.

I use a Nikon D90 and accessories after having used many other different cameras over the years.

I started shooting film in the early 80's. Worked as asst Mgr at an Inkley's Photo in Layton Utah. (Now Wolfe Camera. Or Ritz. Or somthing.)

I avoided digital until recently. On a long trip last fall my schoolteacher wife said: "These little (p&s) cameras don't do what I want... I need a REAL camera for school and for shooting concerts." I replied: "I can take care of that." We got home from the trip.. and I had a $2000.00 unexpected bonus from work on my paycheck. Syncronicity.

Anyway:: Hide the children. Here is my mug.

"My name is Niki and I'm a photoaholic"

I have been in love with cameras and photography since 1986 when I was a junior in high school. I can still smell the B&W lab.

I love to take pictures...it's that simple. It fills something inside of me that nothing else can. I will taking pictures of the life around me until the day I can't lift the camera to my face. (But by then there should be an amazing hands-free camera out there..helmet style maybe?)

If you get a chance, visit my smugmug page or find me on FB @ "lifelensphoto by Niki Pinney"
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creative visions.
