Great to be here

[Steve Dormer]

Hi All

My name is Steve and I welcome this opportunity to introduce myself to the forum.

Well, a little bit about myself and my passion for photography which has been with me for most of my life.

I recently sold all my SLR camera equipment to finance my purchasing of the Fujifilm X Pro 1 and have never looked back since. Well sometimes I might, but in general the camera fits my style and interests perfectly. I just love getting out onto the streets to photograph what I can. This may be on the streets of London or during my travels further afield.

I have over the years settled on a style of photography I like to call photo artistry, where I combine HDR imaging and photoshop to give my work a painterly effect.

I am looking forward to looking around the forum, looking at the work of the members and contributing to the forum where I can.

Kind Regards

Steve

Welcome Steve!
Your welcome to link to your website in your signature ... It looks like your putting some effort into it!?
I was very confused yesterday, I got a response from your email auto responder but I hadn't emailed you ... It took me ages to realise it was because the forum had sent you an auto reply from you joining the forum... It even said it in the subject of the email ...
I was just having one of those days I think
Anyway, I worked it out in the end... Welcome again, hope to see some shots of yours in the forum soon

Welcome Steve, enjoy being a member, if you get bitten by the RPF bug then you be losing many hours of your day don't let that Hamish fellow talk you into parting with cash, he's good at that as he finds new things for us mere mortals to lust over.

Hi Kev

I know what you mean i am spending hours answering posts. However, It's enjoyable thou because it's seems such a friendly group and non of the nastiness you find on other forums. Better not forget to take some photo's.

Nasty is a word not in the RPF vocab I assure you but beware of the one they call Dan Down, ooooooh should have been called scary spice that one LOL
