Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and very interested in learning creative techniques and the thought process behind using off camera flash for creative benefit.
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat, "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" asked Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I should add that I have been shooting Nikon for 30 years, but still have much to learn, as two years ago finally stopped shooting film in favor of a D7000 (which I love) and a few weeks ago picked up a D800 as I have always wanted a digital format that could get close to film.
I am not a gear addict but I have picked up several good autofocus lenses recently (including the 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8) but I still enjoy shooting with some of the manual focus Nikon AIS prime lenses in my glass collection like the 50mm 1.4 and 24mm 2.8, which are fabulous and tack-sharp.
I grew up using a light meter, and still, find it indispensable. I hope I am not the only one!

Welcome bewithabob, and no your not the only one, either to use a lightmeter or to suffer from madness!
