Hello everyone this is Aric Ronald and I am new to this forum. I found this forum very useful and that's why I joined it. I am here to discus about various aspects of photography. I really want to take an active part in this forum.
-
Welcome to the forum! It's a great place to hang out, get good (and sometimes bad) info, and see lots of good photos.
-
Hi Aric, and welcome. As usual, Eric's right, but he forgot to point out that the good info is over on User Critiques. The bad info is here on The Coffee Corner.

Welcome Aric, I am sure you'll enjoy your time at LL.
The beauty here is the diversity of backgrounds, cultures, age and interests that can result in some eye opening conversations on various topics, sometimes even including photography! ;)
Cheers,
Bernard

any photographic endeavor will see an expert here-
after struggling for years to find the silver bullet that would help my own approach to making something meaningful if not beautiful,
I ran across this site innocently enough when the z3100 I use was giving me the dread "pizza wheel marks" and dragging ink across the surface of my high dollar baryta
I wasted very little paper after reading this site-
you'll see,
any interest will find a real expert here

Hey, Aric - welcome to the asylum!

Welcome Aric! The others have said it all - but if you come back to this post in five years time you will come to better understand the other welcome messages above - they are quite illuminating ;D
Seriously though - there is a huge pool of knowledge here - though I have to say I personally find the non-technical discussions the most interesting.

and see lots of good photos.
actually not...if you will see more & much better photos elsewhere... here naturally people are so concerned w/ "(c)" & theft that rarely you see anything posted and in size that allows appreciation

This is what I was referring to, Aric.

Speaking of introductions: "Pot, I'd like to introduce you to Kettle. Kettle, say hello to Pot." ;)

This too.

This too.
I agree,
it is too easy to change the nature of an internet forum/website/etc.
with very little effort, to reflect the poison and vitriol embodied in the poster effecting change.
Forget the HOURS spent by others/ effort laid out/ REAL talent and lucky for me at least to see the energy flow,
I don't know about any of you,
but political talk and religious or (blue/red) talk always demarcates a boundry,
and art is boundless.
Carping and backbiting belong somewhere else.
I realize I'm complaining, and poor Aric is some unsuspecting bystander,
but I mean that-
backbiting carping complaining,
those are the hallmarks of dissatisfaction,
& couldn't be farther from the truth for what I have gleaned from these pages through the years.
Always one or two guys,
some nebulous struggle,
ends in bad feelings,
the worse offenders make up and fade away,
meanwhile back in the jungle

Sorry, but upon reading your message, the first thought that came to my mind was "spam"...
-
Interesting what kind of discussion can be ignited by a simple "Hi I'm the new guy". ;D

I received an E-mail yesterday telling me that the sender wasn't afraid of sex if she liked the guy, that she liked me very much, as a matter of fact, and she then went on to ruin it by asking me to click on her link in order to allow us to get know one another better...
And to think I'd been supposed to think she'd already thought me stunningly cool! She'd have had more luck using a serpent. Or an apple. Maybe not an Apple.
Yeah, spams a fun thing if you kill it straight away.

You need a hobby Rob,
Too much time on your hands if you are reading those emails.

But they are only short ones, Walter, appetizers, as it were, for the Trojan Horse about to enter your system! Why is sex so associated with alien organisms entering systems? Mystery.
I've been wondering about a hobby: tried food, didn't do it; thought about other women - can't find any I would want to find; had a brief notion to travel and realised that it inevitably meant more 'pointless' snaps. However, I now understand the mindset of a certain Mr Rip Van Winkle. I guess the Master Plan has it about right: three-score years and ten, then rest is up to you. Except that often it's not.
I first heard this chick some few years ago; she can do jazz vocals too. Now she'd be a fine hobby!

Just brilliant. ;D
I must admit freely that I've not read the first post carefully. But then again isn't it wonderful how a few lines of spam can crank up the spin? I love the internet!
