Hi there, new user but with less imaginative user name than or Awediot or Streetpigeon! SLR user for nearly three years now but first stab on such a site (originally used impending arrival of first daughter as excuse / reason to get SLR in hope to be creative also but now notice hard drive almost exclusively toddler pics - need a toddler pic challenge!!). Fan of landscape images but rarely let out alone for any appreciable length of time to capture some!

Inspired over the weekend seeing the images created (however much editing was or wasn't used) by folk on here with no different kit to me so planning to wish less for the better kit and get more from what i have. I guess if we have more little 'uns I can try to justify more kit... and i guess if i can't stretch to the kit learn to use photoshop more to make it look like i did!

Made first submission today (the 'beginnings' challenge, without needing to leave the house i hasten to add) and hope to have a go most weeks (but may plan to escape temporarily every once in a while for some landscape submissions).

Cheers for now.

Oh my Lordy Mavis! Here's another newbie! They're falling out of the trees lately; whatever are we to do?!

Just tell those young 'uns to STAY OFF MY LAWN!!

What do we do? CELEBRATE! :)

Seriously though, welcome Stephen!!

The indoor macro challenge will probably suit you well.

If you need any help at all, just post here on the forums and you can bet someone will be along shortly to assist.

Have fun!

Welcome; we may have to add a room on back to accommodate our growing family.

Another Nikon user?? I thought we were going to ban those this year!! Seriously. Next we're going to Sony users!

Oh wait... we've got one of those...

Well. Maybe we can ban them in 2015! I mean, the Mayan apocolypse didn't fix the problem. *sigh*

So for now... welcome anyway...

Don't listen to Wendy, Stephen. She's got Nikon envy :)

And welcome. Your nutty family (assuming they ARE nutty) has nothing on us.

Hi there Stephen, welcome to DPC. Can't wait to see your landscapes, not sure there isn't a lot of water right now in the area you live?

Now be nice Wendy, that's all I own is Nikon and Sony. Oh yeah there are those couple of Canon's sitting in the closet that collect dust. (smile)

Same support group boat. This place is great. It keeps dangling ideas in front of you, so even though your entire life is your toddler, your eyes are alert to capture something for yourself now and then as well.

Welcome Stephen.

I know how difficult it is to find (be allowed) time to spend on photography when you have young kids. I suggest getting a dog as it gives you at least one hour every day walking with your camera though I did have to take the kids in their pram on my dog walks initially. Fortunately the kids are a little older so I can go out with just the dogs now:)

They were stale and also had a recall notice, but don't tell Johanna.

Stephen: Toddlers make great props & challenge entries - even if you have to shoehorn them in.
