I have always enjoyed the old website and am pleased to have found the new one.  I was not one of the top posters, but I always enjoyed reading the posts of others and found this forum to be a great source of information and resource from very knowledgeable people. 

I have been interested in photography since I was about 12 years old.  Started with a borrowed Nikkormat and continued in the Nikon family.  Always wanted an F series and finally justified the expense when I had my first child in 1990 with an F3.  Upgraded to the F4, then the F5, which I still have because I could not part with such a remarkable machine, not that I use it anymore as I have not shot a single roll of film since 1999.  Acquired the D1 in November of 1999 and shot JPGs until I discovered the beauty of NEFs.  Upgraded to D1x, D2, D2H, D2Hs, D3, D3s and now the D4.  I will be trading my D3 and D3s in for another D4.

I have met some really great people in the old forum, who have always been more than happy to help out with suggestions, information, intelligence, knowledge, kindness and friendship.  Many a problem have been solved through info sharing.  I have even been the guest at the home of a UK based member who I met through a filter issue who treated not only me, but my entire family, with tremendous hospitality as their guest on several occasions.

I am not a full time pro, but I was on the edge a while ago. I shoot because I love photography and this forum has enhanced my experience.

I look forward to participating in this forum.
