Hello from Hampshire
 
Hello,

I'm a new member and thought I should introduce myself properly so...

My name is Julia, I have an Olympus E-510 that I have been using for about 2 and a half years. Before that I had a compact which was the first camera I had ever bought. I have loved both of these camers for many years but am now looking to upgrade again.

I take an eclectic mix of photos, I really like macro, especially of insects and flowers and things but I also take pictures for friends, usually at equine events. I am a complete wuss when it comes to taking candid shots although I love the results of other peoples shots! I am known for trying to take a picture of pretty much anything....which is not always that popular and my photography friends find my chronic chimping amusing!

I am mostly here to learn and chat about cameras to people who don't glaze over after 5 minutes. It looks like a very helpful site so far and I am pleased to join in finally :)

Hi Julia,

Welcome to the forum. My first DSLR was the Olympus E-510 too and I found it a fun camera to use, especially as I had many adapters and a ridiculous amount of old glass lenses to use on it. Like you, if I start talking to my friends and family about cameras, they tend to glaze over, so its nice to chat to people who do enjoy them.

Hi amk1977,

Thanks :) its good to hear from another E-510 user! I have learnt so much from mine and ended up buying old lenses from a friend who upgraded all of his too! Do you mind me asking what you moved to from the 510? I'm seriously looking to upgrade and am umming and ahhhhing a lot about it!
