Hi folks,

Just a very brief introduction after being directed here by Finlee. I'm an old SLR 35mm guy, I used to take quite a few photos during my hill walking days. Although nothing special.

Other than using a cheap Kodak compact digital for quick snaps when on holiday etc I've not kept up with the digital age (probably the only area I've remained a tech dinosaur!!).

I've been cogitating for way to long about getting back into photography & buying a DSLR but due to my other hobby (guitar) and its known affliction of GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) have kept a distance between my wallet and a camera!

However about two weeks ago I took the plunge after seeing a deal for the Nikon D5000 + 2 lenses at Jessops.

So here I now am & I'm confused :lol:. I'm sure it was easier when I had a SLR & exposure meter.
 
welcome fella- I too have a guitar as my "other Hobby" :D

pull up a chair and take it all in :thumbs:

Hey Pete, how you doing buddy? Hope that guitar playing is coming along :).
 
Ach I wish... the guitar playing is not coming along that well. At least I'm doing better with a camera. Looks like I'll always be better photographer than guitar player to my eternal consternation. lol Hope your guitar playing is going much better than mine. I have a feeling you are far past me by now. :)
