Ha! You found the perfect thread to make an entrance. Welcome to the site, and I hope you enjoy yourself. It's a quirky sort of place so if you feel lost and confused, you're doing great. Feel free to ask any number of questions. We're weird but friendly.

That's quite alright tanguera and thanks for the welcome.
You may be a little quirky, well I'm peculiar and quirky. I'm still having fun.

If I never score above a 5 I'm happy as can be. I'm having a blast and learning lots. Thanks again.LOL

I'm so glad I joined this group. In such a short time I have learned so much. First off I seriously have no creativity skills and had mainly worked with family photography and macro with wildflowers. Having retired now I have plenty of time to read and glean so much from this website. Thank you all who have worked hard to make this possible and I will keep learning and asking questions. I finally found the glossary and that's a big help when entering the contest. Many of the terms are new to me. Thanks again for all of you who continue to participate and help every new person on the block.

Good morning DPC!

I would like to know if there are any teams I can be with. I would be very happy to join. My camera is now with me so I can now shoot again. I think it would be very fun not only to shoot for the challenge but also for the team. Thanks!

PS. I don't know which thread this post should be -.-

The best of the best advice threads, EVER. But I think it should come with a "Warning: sarcasm ahead" sign attached :)

I think so!

Yep.
This thread has been recommended for a newbie so I thought I would check it out. I have never seen it before so it needs a bump.
Please, please make this thread sticky in all forums so it is always up there for all to see!

the whole original post is a great read. some dated references (i.e. dialup, myspace..) make it even funnier.

dug this up when looking for the phrase

1. DPC is not a democracy; it’s a joint dictatorship.

i thought of this while reading the discussion going on in another thread about "hacking". don't we all love this site enough to trust that the powers that be are constantly trying to improve it and maintain its integrity?
