Subject: Did I say something wrong? An Introduction.
Well after successfully lurking for about 18 months it seems that
mypost to Bill Robb's provocation has broken the list! I got a
coupleof messages that indicated "The User is out of space" as at
least oneother member has gotten too.
Since I have lost my posting virginity I figured I would
properlyintroduce my self. Some of you might recognize me from my
veryinfrequent posting at dpreview or steves-digicams. I really do
nothave enough time to follow those groups any more. I do make the
timeto read PDML every day and enjoy both the information and the
fun.
I manage a shared chemical instrumentation lab (NMR spectroscopy)
atthe University of South Carolina. I have been living in Columbia
forabout 8 years. Before that I was in the Midwest US where I
workedafter I finished my graduate degree. I am originally from
Brooklyn,NY.
Photography is a hobby for me but I have gotten paid for a one
timegig taking images for a web based business. My first real
camera wasa SF-10 that was given to me in 1989. I used it pretty
regularly forabout three years before I got frustrated with both the
results, theprocess of having film developed and trying to
understand what I wastrying to do at the time I took the photo.
When digital came about Iimmediately recognized the ability for
rapid feed back and got hookedagain.
As most digital shooter I have played the constant upgrade game.
Myfirst digital was a Nikon 900S. I moved to a Canon G1, then
anOlympus E-20n and then to the *istD. My naïve thought when I
boughtthe *istD was that the lenses I had for the SF-10 would be
sufficient. It did not take long for me to discover that the two
cheapo Sigmazooms I had were not going to give me the best of what
the cameracould offer. So after spending hundreds of dollars I am
still a lousyphotographer often frustrated by my results….
Since I have been following the list for awhile I know who to
believeand not to believe. I promise not to get into any flame
warsinvolving PC vs. Macs, film vs. digital, liberals vs.
conservatives,guns, religion, politics in general, lack of full K
mount support onPentax digital bodies or any other thread that seems
to never end.
Thanks for letting me lurk and I hope I can contribute something to
the list.
Perry.
