Hi all,
I've been heavily (ok, obsessively) into Radio control cars, planes, helicopters (hence "Flyextreme" ), and just about anything R/C for about 14 years doing some general photography on the side with my Canon PowerShot SX30 IS (P&S). I had a 35mm Pentex for a very short time back in the 80's. I think I'm at a point where I'm just not having as much fun as I used to with my R/C toys so, I'm "refocusing" my interest to photography that I can also do with my youngest. I'm getting my 14 year old daughter a Nikon D3100 for Hanukah so she can shoot with her friends that have various Nikons and Canon Rebels. She's also as excited about shooting with daddy as I am with her.
I ended up with the D3200 with the addition of a 70-300mm. I had considered the D5200, but didn't think at this point it was a good choice for me personally, I'll make a bigger jump once I learn which end of the camera is which
.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to learning this new(ish) hobby, learning and sharing here, and spending quality time with my daughter while she still wants to or can. I also hope to get my wife interested as well. My 15 year old has already expressed some interest.
Peace out, Bill
