Not your ordinary new guy here **pics**

[jcolman]

Greetings all. While I've been into photography for all my adult life, I'm not your ordinary photographer. I'm a Brooks Institute graduate (cinematography) and I studied still photography at Colorado Mountain College a hundred years ago.

Thought you'd might enjoy seeing what I do for a living. I'm a video producer/director/cameraman. I generally make marketing videos/commercials and the occasional documentary or other long form video.

Anyway, I'm here to learn more about DLSR's as I'm thinking of buying one.

I do some still work (very rarely) from time to time. This was a shot I did for Lenovo a couple months ago with my companies Canon 30D and kit lens.

Thanks Mike. Glad to be here. I'll be roaming around asking lots of noob questions I'm sure.

Yes I do. I was trying to find it on YouTube so others could see it as well. But alas, that has to be the only commercial that *isn't* on YouTube. I'm sure that the Londoners, Germans, etc. on TPF have never seen anything quite like that.

I'll see if I can get one of our editors to upload it on our ftp site or youtube. I'll post a link later.

Thanks! I'm hoping to learn from you guys as well. My experience is mainly in film/video production but I want to learn digital still photography.
