Hello everyone,
My name is Laurentiu, I live in Ontario/Canada and I am very happy to have found your community.
I started photographing 30 years ago, when my father gave me a small P&S 35mm camera (which I still have, somewhere in a closet).
Later I bought my first SLR, a Praktica MTL 5B, made in the former GDR (great camera, BTW, still have that one too, in perfect working condition). Five years ago, when everybody started buying digital cameras and predicted the death of film, I bought my first Nikon F80, which I still use these days for slide photography.
Last year, after quite some time spent in debating the advantages of a digital SLR, I bit the bullet and bought myself a nice Nikon D80, which I love!
Despite my over 30 years of 'experience' in this field, I still have a lot to learn, especially in terms of composition and 'seeing creatively', to use a term I learned from Bryan Peterson, and post-processing my digital photos.
That's why I joined your 'club' and I am looking forward to interesting discussions here.
