Hey everyone, Paul from the southern coast of Maine here. I've been reading posts here for awhile and have been learning alot. Decided I should join in.

I've loved photography for years but just got my first dslr, a D3000, last summer. I really like the camera and think it was a good place to start, but I've been drooling over some higher end stuff every time I go into the camera shop, oh well maybe something better next year.

Cheers!

Hey Paul, welcome to Nikonites. Good choice on the camera, and I know what you mean by drooling over the higher end stuff. I'm dreaming about a D300 that I'll never own, unless I win the lottery! lol Anyway...enjoy the site, and if ya got any questions, ask!

Hello Paul...quit drooling and take that 3000 out and make some snaps that would make us drool! We are pretty easy to please...

Hi Paul. I love Maine! Beautiful state! I've got quite a few relatives there (and in New Brunswick).

Welcome to the site. Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

HI Paul, I bought a D3100 early last spring and spent the summer walking Portland taking photos. Lost a bunch of weight and had a lot of fun. I have been going out as much as the weather allows this winter as well. I have a FB page with over 4000 photos on it of Portland, both my own and from other sources.
Nice to see a Mainah on here.
