A beginner.. again!
Greetings,
First let me start by saying that I am a complete forum junkie! I think I have a forum for each of my many hobbies, from glass art to chicken raising. I checked out a few different forums before settling on this one. It appeared to be the most 'beginner friendly,' and I thought it appeard to be very well organized.
In any event, my name is Chris (or Christopher) and I've recently been bit by the photo bug again. I had taken courses in high school, and apprenticed under a professional for a short while after graduation. Sadly, I've forgotten most everything I learned back then, so I'm here to start with the basics, again!
Just this week, I was able to purchase my entry level DSLR, which just happened to be an Oly E520 kit with the 14-42mm lens. I hope to buy a better lens later on, but I plan on using this one as much as I can. I really wanted the E620 for the in camera art filters, but I had to stick within my budget. I compared the E520 to comparable models of Nikon and Canon, but chose the E520 as I thought it had more features and I just liked the feel of it better.
In any event, I hope to learn as much as I can while here, and I've got to get in on one of those assignments quick! For now though, I'm off to the bookstore to find a copy of "Digital Photography For Dummies!"
