Welcome to the forum Ian. We are on the whole a friendly and helpful lot. feel free to ask any questions - I'm sure someone here can answer them for you.
Cameraboy - Why not just welcome the new member and if you need to ask, without shouting (turns caps lock off!), what lol means - or look it up for yourself.

Oh, seemed to have caused controversy on my first post, hehe
Fatspider, it wasn't me shouting, I do have a little netiquette, even if I needed to google how to spell it
Thanks to all for the welcomes, I hope to get plenty of help, and give out as much as I can in return (I know nothing about photopgraphy)
Cameraboy, give me a shout if you need a translation ttfn
