Beautifully done...you do have an amazing talent, and it's so thoughtful of you to share these with us. Thank you!

Thanks for the welcome, "Treepusher." I'm already finding it interesting, and I expect because all of the expertise and interestingmembers, it's sure to be very educational.

"PAR4DCR," thanks for the welcome...I do love a great secret. I was promised that if I behave, all will be exposed!

"Tradio," I'll do my best!

Thank you "DickC" for your very thoughtful welcome.

Thank you, Ms Wings, for your nice welcome.

Thank you David, and Carl for welcoming me. While I do/will enjoy the Chit-Chats, I am here first off, to learn as much as I can of the knowledge necessary to make quality photographs.

Thanks for the welcome, and I've never seen an ugly hedgehog!

Thank you for your kind welcome.

My name is Dale, I'm 26 years old, and live in Arizona. I really "joined over a year ago to get some info on a camera I was thinking of buying. Coincidentally someone else was making an inquiry on the same camera, I liked what was about it by the many pro members of this site. There have been times that I wanted to comment on the many subjects, but found most (if not all) the members are more experienced at everything in life than I. So, for more than a year I've been the happy "lurker."

Today, I just have one question, and that is, how on earth did the group's name "Ugly Hedgehog come about?!?

NowI'll have to figure how to get an avatar to accompany my "coming out!"
