Hi from Toronto...Etobicoke to be exact.

Hi everyone. I am new here but not to Photography. I have been shooting and shutter bugging since I was a kid and now that I am pushing 50, I am thinking about what I want to do when I retire.

Art, photography, music and animals are my life. I love them.

I don't have a Niche that I focus on. I am a kind of scatter brain shooter that will take a pic of anything I find beautiful and thought evoking.

I mainly use my Nikon F2 but do have a Digital Canon as well. I am not a fan of Photoshop and rarely if ever use it. All of my photos are Raw Images and are rarely, if ever, manipulated in anyway. If they are or have been, I will tell you exactly what I did.

I am here to learn, to share, to be inspired as well as maybe inspiring someone else.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I don't bite, normally.

Diana

Hi Diana and welcome!!

we don't bite either (well to be truthful I'm not sure of all our members

).

Mostly we're a fun crowd.

ROFL!!!! It was fun watching my son and daughter play hockey. when the girls did something that caused a penalty they would be on their way to the box before the whistle blew, while the boys would skate away looking innocent.
