Title: I've Never Shot a Nikon Digital Camera
Post by: Gary on June 16, 2015, 22:04:41: Hi, I'm Gary and I've never shot a Nikon digital camera. (LOL)

I know ... cameras don't count, only the images. Lew invited me and I have humbly accepted his invitation. Thank you Lew. Lew told me only the best photogs in the world are here ... so I am excited to view, learn, share and participate with the best!

FWIW, from what I understood, Gary is an outstanding seasoned pro, now enjoying his retirement days. I already learned quite a few things from his posts elsewhere.

Hey Intrepid. Thank you for the nice word. I have hung up my pro photo career decades ago ... sadly I am not retired ... but life is good.

YES! Thank you for the welcome Anthony.

(I think keen and Fuji in the same sentence is redundant.)

I stand corrected. From "active duty" to stage shooting may be better? :)

Rick!! My Man! (I think that may be one word.) How the hell are you? It is great to see you. According to Lew ... you may be the only Street Photog here ... so Lew brought in a few to mix it up. Your Ranger's are kicking my Dodgers butt ... what the hell ...

Thank you AFX and thank you for viewing my site. As to the dark side of the universe ... I am a bit of a contrast freak. Back in the film only days, contrast was something elusive. In digital, it is but a slider.
