Newbie from Dallas. - 03-31-2011, 06:27 PM


Hello all, my name is Patrick. I'm getting back into photography after a 12-year hiatus after high school news paper and yearbook. I (and everyone) thought I was going to go on and take college classes to become a professional, but I discovered computers, and took a different route. The money became available recently for me to get a Nikon D300S (and other goodies), and so begins my journey again to learn the art of taking good pictures. A lot has changed I am finding. I'm glad to be here, and am looking forward to learning from the experienced folks here, and having fun in the process!

Welcome!!

This is a great place to share ideas and locations around town. A very cool place to hang out.

That said, here's a few thread titles to avoid:

- How do I get credentials?
- My first wedding, should I do it for free?
- Anything with the word "police" in it
- If God were a politician...
and the worst of them all
- What do you all think of this shot?

All in good fun, glad to have you here! Share a photo or two when you get a chance...

Joe
