Hello - New Member

Dear All,

I thought it best to quickly introduce myself.

Having been away from the film SLR area for about 16 years, I recently began to get excited about Photography again. Having looked hard into What Camera to begin building myself up on, I was strongly advised to go for the K10 over the competition. Besides this, it was comfortable to hold - Something I was always taught..

Having come from film SLR, I can already appreciate what different apertures and Shutter speeds can do to an image - I just have to remember, that's all! I'm going to be shooting most in jpeg format to begin with before moving over to RAW (and this is where I think I'm going to be needing some help!) I'm certainly not used to post-processing

I've been looking on the Forum for about a month now and gaining a lot of inspiration from everyone - I cannot explain how excited I am at getting behind the viewfinder again.

I'm getting my new Kit on Friday next - the K10 (with the 18-55 Lens) & Battery Grip along with the Sigma 70-300 Zoom/Macro Lens.

Once I get comfortable using the K10, I'll start posting the occasional image for opinions, advice and learning..

Anyway, that's me..

With kind Regards,

Phil.

Hello and welcome,

I joined after a similar length of break from photography. I bought a K100D super in November and started with jpgs as you are intending to do. When I got to grips with the camera a bit I progressed to RAW earlier this month, and have begun a new adventure with post processing. My, what a big field that is, but I have made some pleasing (to me) images.

So, good luck.

Welcome to the forum.

You have a good kit to start with and we look forward to seeing some pics
Good luck

Hi MX Veteran,

Nice to see that I'm not alone out there.. Sounds like you've had quite an adventure.. I think the only thing I can do is learn to walk before I run!

Hi Clarky,

Thanks for the message. I know I have good kit.. I just got to learn!

Thanks to you both for your support..

Phil.
