Default Greetings from Portland, Maine
After poking around here for a day, figure I'd stop and introduce myself, as this seems like a useful and well run forum.

I've shot 35mm film at varying interest levels since high school (which I graduated some 20 odd years ago). When I first learned of dSLRs, I had to have one, and picked up the original dRebel (300D), and have been shooting with a renewed passion ever since. I have added a 30D to that Rebel and my old trusty A2, with which I still shoot slides on regular basis (because I love Velvia). I also toy around with a Holga at times, which forces me to develop a little bit of film once in awhile.

My full time job is meteorologist for the National Weather Service, so, I have a special fondness for the sky in images, but in general, I like to shoot landscape, nature, and cityscapes. I really like messing with HDR and panos, too.

And, yes, you may know me by another name in other forums.

Welcome aboard. A good Meteorologist an make some money in Oklahoma. The ones here an't predict very good.

Anyway, post some shots of the sky when you can. We even have a few Holga people here who talk and post Holga stuff every now and then. The more the merrier.

Be sure to check out the sticky threads at the top of this board to get you going.

Hey Portland! Lewiston here! I bet you get great shots of lighthouses - I have to drive 45 mins to get to them!

Have fun
