Hello fellow photogs!

To introduce myself, I'm a 60+ guy in New Hampshire, USA. My interests, besides photography, are guitar/music and motorcycling. I have been taking photographs from my teens (my dad's Argus C3). And more seriously for a newspaper in the 1970's. My first "pro" camera was a Canon F1 system, which I still have. In the film days, I kept a BW and Color darkroom going for years.
With the advent of 'good' digital cameras, I put the F1 down and starting using point and shoot digitals. I became interested in upgrading when mirrorless cameras started to emerge. I waited for Nikon to introduce a mirrorless with integrated EVF and jumped in with a purchase of the Nikon 1 v1. I like the v1, although I would very much like better high iso performance, I'm an 'available light' guy.
Been hanging around this site for a couple of weeks and quite enjoy the experience, you all seem to have a great sense of comraderie and respect for each other. So I'm in!

So hi to all, Randy

Welcome! So have your added the Fotodiox grip to your V1 yet? (We like to see how fast we can make newly joined folks open their wallet.)

Actually, no, haven't added the grip. Although I'm a big guy with big hands, I'm satisfied with the v1 without it. But I'm thinking about a wrist strap instead of the shoulder strap... does that count?

One question: I see many of you have Signature lines and "NIKON blah blah" stuff at the bottom of your posts. How do I do that?

I have the grip and wrist strap. Perfect combo iMHO.

Go to Settings (top right) then on the left side of the next page loaded you will see Edit Signature.

The FAQ in the above post will answer many of your questions. And welcome and thanks for the kind words. We do have a pretty good group of people here. Most of us suffer from NAS if you have not figured that out already. You will too if you have around us much. :eek:
