Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a photoholic. Well, a hobbyist and enthusiast anyway. I've been lurking for a little while, and it looks like this is a pretty good group of people.
Just a bit of background: I'm in Phoenix, Arizona. I started in photography about 25 years ago as a teenager shooting 35mm Pentax gear (various models), then learned darkroom techniques in college photo classes. I prefer landscapes, abstracts, and wildlife, but interested in expanding and learning new subjects. About 3 years ago I jumped into digital with both feet, sold my Contax film equipment to do it (still sad sometimes). I currently shoot mainly with a Nikon D300. I also have been experimenting with a Sony NEX 5n so I can play with all of my old legacy lenses, especially the Topcon and Zeiss collections I have from my grandfather.
Enough for now, cheers!

Welcome to UHH. Post some photos when you are ready.
Thanks for all of the greetings. I'll be certain to chime in with comments from time to time. As far as posting photos, I never claimed to be any good, just an enthusiast. :) I'll put some up if they are relevant to a topic, though.

Welcome aboard CSI Dave. None of us claim to be any good, but we learn from each other here. There IS one unwritten rule on this site that I've found out. You HAVE to learn. You have NO choice. Even if you don't comment on the forum, you will find info you didn't know. This forum is very habit forming, and informative :thumbup: Anything you have a ? with, the people here will help. Have fun with your pic-taking...a person can NEVER learn enough. :thumbup: 8-)
