Just finished my bio. and there was a lot to think about having been a photographer for 40 some years. Journeyman in darkroom procedures and a late bloomer in digital. Took a while to master all the menus in the Nikon D300. I was going to buy a Nikon D3 but found that for $2000.00 less I could get a camera that would do all that i wanted without the large outlay of cash.Glad to be on Myspace and hope to hear from Yourspace soon.
