Hi I am Dave from Doncaster I have used cameras since I was old enough to use one maybe from 10 year old and I still know nothing. I used to develop my own photos when I was 16, and I now use bridge cameras and a Nikon D3100 I am hoping to learn something now I have reached 67 years old.

Hi Vijay and welcome. There certainly are many beautiful bird species in India. Would love to see some of your images in PAD (Photo-a-Day).

@Donnydave, welcome aboard! What is a bridge camera?

NSXTypeR

I think bridge cameras are cameras that are between point and shoots and DSLRs that pack a big zoom range. Cameras like the Sony RX10.

Not sure what to do hear, just came aboard. I think we should all remember when the d1came out and 2 years later it was obsolete. I think I might just wait and see what a f5 is worth in 3 or4 years. I need nothing more than my d700 24-70 70-200 and 300 f4 with 1.4 converter. All nikkor + a d300s. my cameras cover 24 to 630mm with impeccable glass.

Welcome to NRF. And, for sure, the camera is only a small part of producing the final image and many super photos are produced with very old models.

Hi,

Big fan of the Forum - have learned so much from it and thought that now would be the time to join up and contribute. I posted my first picture on photo of the day by way of starting to repay the debt! I live and work in Cirencester in the UK. I love landscape using the wonderful D810 and have been back into photography for 3 years or so.I was bitten by the bug when studying at the age of 15 (over 30 years ago!) and fell away when everything went digital. Its good to be back!

Hi CirenSnapper. Welcome in from the cold. I look forward to your posts. Please read the forum rules (they aren't too arduous!).

Hi Shunto, welcome to NR. What? No camera at all for maybe 4-5 months? It's going to be a long winter for you!

Welcome to NR Sophia. I suggest you start a new thread on the forum asking your question rather than ask it here as it will not get seen by most of the members as it stands. Please read the forum rules before posting.

Msmoto

Oh, yes, welcome, and the new thread I started yesterday

Our Black Sky Films on U Tube covers Ice Palace building, Inspire Fireworks done with our quad outer, and some were done strictly with Nikon DSLRs from D7000 on through to D7200. One on U Tube under Black Sky Films is titled Jet Boat (in the Adirondacks). Remarkably the color peak is Over here! We have had a number of days already that it snowed all day and night! I believe the D7100 and D7200 are fantastic cameras. I should post a video on this done with the new 16-80 Nikon lens.....my favorite!

Hi everyone,

I'm not even sure I introduced myself when I started posting (not very often, true) on this here forum a while ago (I had been following NR for several years), so here goes.

Like many of you, I have been using a camera since around the age of 10, and that's almost half a century ago. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 104 with blue flashcubes, I recall that day as if it was yesterday. I got that camera for Christmas and we were at the country house and there was a lot of commotion the first time someone threw one of those (spent) flashcubes into the fireplace...! )

A few years after that (I was in high school by then), my first SLR, given for yet another Christmas, was a Canon FTb/QL, which I promptly re-sold as it was the “wrong” brand (Mommy didn't know...). Then, scraping together that money and all my savings, I went out and bought a black Nikon F Photomic FTn with a 50mm f/2 Nikkor lens, which I used for many years, and which is still in perfect working order.

In 1984, I bought an FA, which was the first camera with a truly modern, evaluative meter, a 35~70 zoom, a PC lens, etc, etc. From those times I still own the two aforementioned cameras, a pair of F2s, and an F4.

Around the times when auto-focus was introduced, I for some reason stopped taking pictures except for vacation snaps, and so my equipment sat in a locker. Then, in 2006, as I was vacationing in the Caribbean, I was so frustrated to have so many great photo opportunities, and only a throwaway camera, that I took the advantage of being on a tax-free island to take the plunge again, this time into digital photography. Having always been loyal to Nikon, I bought a D200 with a 17~55/2.8 lens, then some other lenses, then a D2Xs, then a D3 and a new host of full-frame lenses, and since then I've been happily enjoying the unequaled amount of control that digital photography nowadays gives the photographer overt the whole production chain, from shooting to printing prints.

I am French, used to live in Paris but now live in Lyon, and have quite a large Nikon kit, and also a smaller Fuji-based kit (X-Pro 1 and Fujinon lenses).

A belated welcome to you Dominique_R.
