Hi guys, I joined PDML a couple of weeks back but have been silent not knowing what to contribute. I would love to comment on the PESO/PAW but I feel that my praise would really bring no value to the table.
I am a novice and was subscribed to PDML for a few months couple of years back when I first started taking pictures. But I never really did take many. I recently moved to the US and find myself with more time and inclination to take pictures so I signed up again. I use film and haven't taken many pictures so far. Looking for feedback/pointers on: a) I feel embarrassed/shy of going out and taking pictures all by myself. Am I the only one who feels this? Recently Paul S. mentioned this in relation to the picture taken in Starbucks. b) I joined a Merrimack Valley Camera Club last week (Andover, Massachusetts) but they don't go out that often or at least no member seemed comfortable so far to take me with them when they shoot. c) I am looking for company to get some tips, pointers and help me improve my composition lot more than just the technical details. d) I still shoot film and do not have money to buy a digital SLR. Can I get any decent film/slide scanner used for less than $150? And to share a picture that I took in India: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-10/1098407/angry.jpg All comments more than welcome. This was scanned from a 4x6 print using the office scanner. Thanks for reading a longish post. Gaurav
