Hi everyone...

[paulpippin29]

Hello to all

My name is Paul, and I'm BRAND NEW to photography. I just bought my first digital camera, and I've fallen in love, literally. I can't stop taking pictures, however, I can't seem to take many good ones

I've been browsing around this forum for a couple of days now, and have come to the realization that I've got a LOT to learn, but... I shall prevail, hopefully

I've got two main sources of inspiration:

Scott Hansen > http://www.iso50.com http://www.tychomusic.com
Akif Hakan > http://www.hakanphotography.com

I've got a LONG way to go before I can even be half as good as they are, but, that is my very much so, LONG term goal I don't even have a copy of photoshop, and when I found out how much it is, it blew me away, but, oh well... it might be worth the purchase.

Anyway, thanks to the person or persons responsible for this forum, as it seems to be the right one to have joined, so, glad that I did.

I'm looking forward to bugging you all with many newby questions, so hope you don't mind

Welcome to TPF,

And don't worry about the pics. Nice thing about digital is your not wasting any money on film by practicing and learning.

I never looked at it like that at all, and your statement makes perfect sense Thanks for the warm welcome folks, it's greatly appreciated.
