Hi Everyone.
My name is Michael Olivares. I am 43 years old and live in the Philippines.
I got into photography way back in 1978. My mother got into Photography abd bought a Nikon F2. Being a gadget freak, I got into it as well, though without any formal lessons. We had a darkroom, in which we developed and enlarged our photos. We had both B&W and color. Though I never got into color (too tedious)...After a while, my teenage years left me with no time and interest in photography.
I recently got back into it with a Nikon D70 in 2005. Though I used it mainly for snap shots. I now have a D300 and a few lenses and am back into the hobby.
Interestingly, my F2 experience leaves me more comfortable on manual mode than the S or A modes.
I really enjoy DPS, both the blog and the forum and find that I am learning more everyday.
Thanks and congratulations to Darren for putting this site up!
