I've done a little browsing here and it seems like you are a pretty good lot to hang out with.

With help from Mic and some of the board moderators, I'm now able to post messages, in spite of my shortcomings in computer operations. So, I'd like to take a moment to thank them for their efforts.

Now for a quick introduction. I'm a Yankee, currently living in the Detroit, MI area. I've had a d70 since March 18, 2004 and have had a great deal of fun with it. So, today is my 1st anniversary with the d70.

I'm an active member of the d70 forum on dpreview, which also has a lot of good people in it.

I'm looking forward to participation on this board and hope that I can learn a few things and share my passion and joy in photography.

Here's one of my favorite shots, taken on April 10, 2004, shot number 154.

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX APO IF

Welcome Kerry,

I have never seen dogs with ears that are pointier then their teeth

Hi Kerry,

Welcome, Great 1st shot to start out here with.

I' sure everybody will make you most welcome here.

Keep em coming

Your Mate Mic.

Kerry - welcome to D70Users.com.

We are a friendly bunch of people, and share some warped sense of humour from time to time .

Enjoyed you first shots, so keep them coming together with any question/s. Just remember there are no silly questions. If you do not understand something ie hardware or software, send in a post and an answer is sure to follow.


Cheers,

I appreciate the welcome.

I realized, after I'd started the initial post, that I had to renew my info in my profile, so that's been taken care of.

Anything else you guys see that I need to do or not do, please let me know.

Great Avatar Kerry, ( Your little Picture in Profile )

I think you'll like it here and I think you will learn a lot as well.

I have.

Hi Kerry, Happy Anniversary, you are definitely an early adopter with the D70! Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll like it here.

Cheers

Hi Kerry - I think I recall you and your superb images from 'that other forum'. You'll find we are much more civilised here (or cilivized as you're used to spelling it), so welcome to the forums and hope you can stay.

You'll have to forgive our proper english spellings and quirky downunder sense of humour. North Americans are in the minority here.

Welcome Kerry, nice shot and hope you enjoy it here

Welcome Kerry Nice pix of the dogs ....... did you use a long lens....

Big pix

Kerry - welcome - first post with a great pic taken with a great lens

Welcome kerry.... enjoy your stay. I had a quick look through your gallery... some wonderful shots...

look forward to seeing more.

cheers

Kerry it has just dawned on me who you are I have been investigating the 70-200 for a while now and it was your photographs plus those of Stan Birge on pbase that I was most impressed by. I use both the Sigma 12-24mm and the 105mm macro and have been very impressed by both. I am sure we will converse more in future days

No I do not want to swap. I am interested in what other people order and I respective them for their selection. I must admit though, I admire Chris's work. It is not always the equipment you have, but the way in which you use it.

ta ta for now,

Welcome Kerry, isn't Detroit an outer suburb of Flint? Or Kalamazoo?
Keep on posting them thar' pics pardner...

Max

Chris & everyone, It is was for this reason I contacted Kerry to visit us and to share her craft. I always thought she had a style that would suit us in this Forum.
I hope she enjoys her stay & both Kerry & us benefit from the experience.

Cheers,

Mic.

Please note: comments from Winemaker, Peak Drinking Now Until 2008. Now sounded pretty good to me . Anyway while I was drinking this, I packed my backpacks for tomorrow outing to Monarto Zoo, together with other people's goodies ordered from you .

ta ta for now,

I am about to open a bottle of Tyrrells Old Winery Cabernet Merlot 1998. If it is as good as the last bottle I opened This could be my last post to-night

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the very kind comment. I like the Sigma lenses. They aren't "the best", but the EX series is very good, IMO and usually very economical in comparison to "the best". I put about 450 shots on the 70-200 today, at a dog show, shooting existing light, hand held, at f/2.8, ISO 1600. That's a low percentage proposition, but I was pleased to get more keepers than I anticipated. I'll post a pic in another thread.

Hi Mic,

Yes, I think I'll like it here as well. Learning is something I enjoy, which is a good thing, cuz I still have much to learn. The Avatar is one of my self-portraits, sanitized so as not to scare the women and children.

Wow, what a great welcome!

I don't want to chew up a ton of bandwidth replying to each great entry, so here's a blanket statement in a weak attempt to cover them all. Thanks for making me feel at home!

Hi Kerry,

That makes me feel good, I thought you would like it here.

I told you we were a friendly little bunch.

Mic.

Hi Mic,

You were certainly correct. I do appreciate everything you did to help me get on here.
