Hello, I hate introduction posts...they always seem somewhat cheesy and I therefore tend to just jump right in with posting shots and asking questions.

Anyway, my name is Kate, 33 years old. British resident and been doing photography on and off for 8 years, more off than on as I tend to lose heart on a regular basis. Have used Nikon thus far, but now at a crossroads and choosing between D80 and Canon's 40D. One would lead to eventual purchase of a D300, the other to a 5D so kinda stuck there, haha.

I have Aspergers syndrome, but don't see it as a big deal, it just means I tend to get a little more stuck on details, a little more obsessive about my hobbies and a little more blunt in my words.

Bad experiences on past photographic forums...ie, post shots, no input, left feeling my work must be a pile of budgie turds, leave forum and stop photographing, lol.

Anyway, nice to meet you all.
 
Hello and welcome to TP home you enjoy your stay with us and happy posting :D

Thanks all. Already posted some pics. But I fear that like on other forums, people only tend to comment once you have been around awhile or reached a certain level of proficiency etc etc. That has been my experience anyway, and it can be disheartening to say the least.

Not here. Some regular posters do attract more comments because previous pictures have gone down well that is true. Just shows you get out what you put in.
If you have picture threads with no comments then please be patient as it can take a few days for enough people to see them as a lot of pictures get posted.

Welcome to the forums.
 
Thankies, think with my tendency towards low self esteem, I see no comments, lotsa views and think 'ah well, shows what a pile of c**p my work is'. Such is the nature of the pessimist and presumer, lol.
 
Kate, welcome, I am fairly new although my post count would suggest older - I have commented on your other post and like your work, whenever I have tried self portraits, well, I have failed, lol !
 
Hi Kate :welcome: to TP. I recently bought a 40D & love it.:canon:
 
Thanks all...ah yes, my camera dilemma.I might end up just tossing a coin or giving my friend the links to the ones I like and telling him to make the choice and surprise me.

Ah...isle of wight. I lived there for 5 and a half years in Cowes. Wonderful island for scenery.Keep meaning to get the red jet for a visit.
