I have been in the Salem Digital Photography Group since it began in September 2008. In the last year and a half I have learned so much with the awesome help of the pros in this group. I have found a passion named 'photography'! Awesome Group!!!
Amateur... Since I have started with this photo group in 2008 I have learned in leaps and bounds and sometimes I even get to help others! I barely knew how to turn on my D90...now OH BOY!! The group won't let me call myself a rookie anymore...
I am very excited about being a co-organizer and getting people enthused to go out and shoot. I have learned so much from the many knowledgeable group members. I am getting able to help others now with certain areas of photography.
Probably 30 years. First film then 2002 went digital and got a Canon A65, then a few years later Canon A610, shooting just family and places. Then September 2008, Nikon D90 opened up a whole new world!
Landscape, Sunsets, Night shooting, Bands, Macros, Family, Events, maternity, AND want to do much more! Want to do horse events and more sporting events.
This Group will accommodate many levels of knowledge. I am a rookey and learn alot and those that are very knowledgeable share their tips and tricks with each other while us rookies learn alot also. If you love your CAMERA you will love this meetup group. Alot of knowledge going on here!

Hi Kim. I was planning on being part of the "Bridge" outing this Friday, but I don't yet have a tripod or remote. I'll wait for the next shoot. I am looking forward to getting together with everyone.

Nikon D90 too! Awesome...I'll add you to my "GOTO" persons when I have questions. I'm still trying to figure it out...so many options and features...but loving it so far as well. Thanks for having me be part of the group.

Hi Kim. It was great to meet you at the meeting the other night. I'm looking forward to learning all I can. Let me know when you're planning another one of those "shoots" you mentioned. I'd like to go along.
Jack
Thanks Kim,
I'm hoping I can make it to this Wednesday's meetup, but with my schedule the way its been I may not make it this time around. But I look forward to going to future events! Always respect the nerds, always. :) Take care!
So glad there is help available. I'm looking forward to learning.
Hi Kim. I appreciate hearing from you, even though I've only just discovered the group, and have yet to attend a meeting. I am very much looking forward to this week's gathering, and to hear about the "band shoots" you do. Because of so little experience with digital photography, I have a big learning curve ahead. I hoping this group can help me with that. I'm certainly more than willing to pass on anything I learn along the way.

Hi Kim! I am so glad we started talking about photography yesterday. I am so excited for the meeting!! See you then!!
Thanks again KIm, this was at Lookout Point...I like the fog also.
Thanks Kim, this was at the 2010 Marion County Fair...a funny side story was the owner gave me the 3rd degree...he thought I was doing an expose' on carnival cheating.
Thanks Kim, it was a fun shot of the absurd. They don't make buns that small so with a little cutting and some photoshopping..
.voila!
