Hi everyone!
A bit about me. I am from Wisconsin originally. I actually had my first real experience with cameras several years ago, when I began selling 35mm film units at Target and later at Best Buy. During this time I was never really interested in using them myself and usually had those cheap disposable deals.
I took my first steps into digital photography when I came to Colorado a couple years ago, and bought an Olympus C-740. I am stationed here with the Army. I didn't really understand the principles behind taking quality pictures and used it infrequently.
I began getting interested a few months ago when my girlfriend was looking for a new point and shoot. I did a bunch of research to help her decide on a model, and ended becoming so fascinated by what I had been reading, that I ended buying myself an E-500 with the dual lens kit.
So far it has been a fantastic camera that I use almost daily. I bought an FL-36 flash a couple weeks ago to help with fill. Works great. I'm looking to pick up either the 50mm Macro/F2.8 next or the 50-200mm/F2.8-3.5 in the near future.
Hope to post some of my work up soon!
