Dropping in to say HI

[Larry Johnson]

Hi Gang!
I joined up a while back,but I mod on several other froums (not photography though) and have been having time constrant problems getting back here.
Been browsing the site and I like what I see so far!
I am going to need some help with RAW processing as I am new to that.
Along with land photgraphy I also take pics underwater and have a new D200 and a Sea & Sea U/W housing to go to Lake Malawi this year,which is a big upgrade from previous years!
Will catch up to some of you in the threads.

Cheers,Larry

Glad you stop by for the intro, Larry.

Please share some of your underwater shots when you get the chance.

Welcome to APF, Larry. I'm sure we'll be able to help you with RAW - there's not much point in getting a D200 and then shooting jpgs.

Welcome, Larry!
Yeah, these underwater shots sound like quite curious and definitely will take our attention…
Cheers

Yes,U/W photography was what really got me going on this subject.My first camera was a Sony DSC-P1 3.3mp back in 2001,,,wasn't the best at the time,but it was the only one that I could get an U/W housing for.
Over the years since,I have put together quite a few Power Point speaking engagments and had great success with them,the pics were enjoyed by all.
On my last trip the guys kept goading me into getting a new camera,that I had the shooting skills but the quality was not good enough,,,,OK good enough for a Magazine article and a couple shots in an upcoming book,,,but I knew what they were talking about.
So,they kept it up all trip until I finally said YOU talk to my wife,,,LOL!!!!!!!!
Well,I left my equipment back at where I go yearly to dive and make room/luggage space for my new equipment that's going this year.
So I'm really looking forward to taking and sharing some great pics here with you guys!
The new camera is a lot more complicated and I'm not doing to bad with it so far,but I figured joining here and reading and asking a few questions and picking up a few tips,that I could short cut a lot of errors!

Cheers,Larry
