Hi everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Diana and I am from North Myrtle Beach, SC. I bought a canon 450D in January. I had no idea how much I would enjoy taking photos as I never enjoyed it with a point and shoot. I have since purchased the 100mm 2.8 macro lens and now love it even more! Anyway, I am really amazed at the quality of photos I see on this site and hope to learn from them...even if I go crazy in the process.

You probably will go crazy in the process, everyone else here is!
Welcome, jump right on, you'll learn loads here. Oh and watch out for all the mad ones, they're likely to post straight after me, you'll notice straight away that they're not quite right ;) |

Musta been perusing my profile huh? I get that ALL the time, welcome. The only thing you need to know here is where the following keys are located on your keyboard:
1 D N M C
oh, and also, make sure that after eating you wait 3 hours, get a complete physical and a ear candling before using the staff pool. |

Welcome to DPC, where everything is real, including this fruit basket.
Go ahead, have a grape.
Note: I would avoid the pool altogether. |

Well, I did max out on the latest random shirt offering.. I've got something like 30 of those things, I really have been trying not to buy lately unless I REALLY LOVE the shirt.. |

First off, Welcome. Definately do what Tammster said and post some pics to your portfolio but be sure not to post anything that you enter in a challenge or are planning on entering into a challenge until the challenge voting period is over.

welcome! as a member, you will hear voices in your mind, one voice adds up every year. so for veterans in this site, go figure.. the voices will talk to you so listen to them. don't listen. i've been here for four months so the voice is one thirds full. it is still manageable. sometimes |
