Long-time Lurker, finally ready to start posting.

[quilts]

Hi there! Been reading these forums on and off for technical questions and camera advice, but hadn't ever gotten around to actually posting on here. Figured I might as well post in the intro section. I'm fairly new to photography and actually only started using a film camera on my honeymoon in late 2021. Never shot digital before that either. My wife and I went to Paris and it just seemed like a fun way to remember the city.

I started off with just a basic point and shoot, but have now ventured out and have a small collection of zone-focus compacts, SLR's, and rangefinders. Currently just trying enjoying trying a whole bunch of different cameras as I decide which ones I'm really drawn to and will end up keeping. Looking forward to interacting with and continuing to learn from everyone here!

Let me say a word or two. Great to see you join, also remember, that “ your great point, advice, suggestions, insight, . . . . Overall “thoughtfulness “ will sometimes fall on deaf ears. Or/Also your point wasn’t as great as you thought. In other words don’t be so sensitive. Go bold, throw out your ideas, and see what gets traction!!!
