Just want to say hi to everyone, and that I'm impressed with the forum you have here, your tips & hints are being well recieved!
I've recieved my D70 kit on Friday and havn't put it down yet, even managed to get some great shots at a wedding at the weekend. (Wish I had the SB-800!)
Looking forward to the "learning curve" that will last forever!

Paul, we have enough members now but thanks for your interest.

Only joking, welcome I am sure you will like it here, great fun learning curve on the D70 and a great bunch of people to help you. Welcome

Welcome Paul - I'm sure you'll learn heaps, especially about composition and how everything needs to be in the exact centre of the picture!

Pretty amazing how this little community is expanding.

Hi Paul! and welcome!

Paul...welcome. And yes, this forum lives and dies by the golden non rule of "neat and in the middle". A technique of image arrangement for masters. (Zen and the art of photographic composition).

Hey Paul - West Pennant Hills huh? Why, you're just around the corner from fellow member MJ.

Is it hard to type when you don't put down your D70?

Welcome Paul - a great base for knowledge - wit - pics - friendship - and oh, of course the D70

Hello Paul, and welcome to this great forum

. would it be possible to see some of your great wedding shots from the week end? Cheers,

Geoff.

Welcome Paul.

Notwithstanding the comments of my learned colleagues above, there will be a high degree of tolerance for images where the subject is not exactly "neat and in the middle", because we embrace diversity.

Thanks for the welcome guys! I'll try and post some of the shots from the wedding shortly as soon as someone levers my D70 from my hands!

Can we at least wait until it gets into Oz ?

Kristine, great; howdjago in the exams? No worries otherwise; I'm down the cellblock tonight; Leigh's playing the lead in Faustus and tonight's the grand opening.

And tomorrow's the grand closing.

Well I hope I went good. :-)

I should not have any problems (it was on databases).

Cheers

Easy stuff.

I hope the results pan out as you expect them to.
