Hello

[popeye88]

Hi,

Very useful forum, spent few nights reading about gear trying to figure out what to get.

Best picture-taking-device owned so far was ixus-something. Or iphone5.

That'll change soon.



English is my fourth language, so If you don't understand what I type, that is probably the likely reason.

Hello and welcome!.... Fourth language? wow... in which case your written English is pretty good... look forward to seeing you around the forum, we are a lovely lot here

 

[popeye88]

ah fellow vaper, i've started 15 m ago. Best decision ever. These days 15ml of juice last couple of months as most days i forget to vape.

 

[Cg_Girl]

And welcome to TP.

As T said, your English is superb and I would never have guessed that it wasn't your first language.
Best of luck with your upcoming camera purchase and I'm looking forward to seeing you around the forums.

I think your English is better than mine!

Welcome to TP

 

[fracster]

So do I.

 

[kelack]

Better than yours?

 

[fracster]

Oh yes..............

Hi,

Thanks for the compliments.

I went to John Lewis and bought myself d3100 kit thingie. The logic behind the purchase is to see if this is something that I'll actually enjoy doing or that I'll put it on the shelf, while I continue to use point and click £150 canon pockety thing.

At no point I'll become Ansel Adams or even average photograper. The main point is to enjoy the ride, and if some less than 'orrible shots happen by pure chance along the way, I'll be happy.



Once again, thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.

And d3100 went back, only to be replaced by;

18-105 AF-S VR - Courtesy of JLP (price matched)
and
d5100 from very nice people at SRS in Watford. Polite and professional.

Happy days.

 

[SarahLee]

Enjoy !!!
Now when do we get to see some photos from it?

 

[popeye88]

My reason for all the other reasons.

Welcome to TP - A great looking image for starters. If you post it in the main forum people will offer some comments about it that may help you think about your next capture.

Look forward to seeing you around

: Bit late coming back to this thread.

But well worth popping back in that's gorgeous and probably the best reason there is

 

[popeye88]

Thanks muchly for the kind words. I'm in the phase of scouring websites and visiting photogear shops buying stuff that will get used on 30th of February, but probably not every year. Just today remote control appeared courtesy of Royal Mail, as if by magic.
I like this. Shopping is fun.
