Welcome!

Hi Lety!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I am so glad you like my shots!
I use a Canon 20D, not the latest gear but i love it! I mostly shoot with a 18-200mm lens. I don't like messing around with switching lens so I went with a wide angle/zoom lens. Very versitile!
Cheers!
Jennifer

I'm just getting home now. I don't think I can make it. I tried to contact you earlier however Meetup was blocked at the school I was at and I couldn't overwrite it so no contact. I hope you can make it one way or another.

Hi Lety

I had a rather sleepless night last night, and still have to spend the day with a Gr. 5 class, and trying to switch an appointment I have afterwards. I want to attend the ballet but I am not 100% sure at the moment. To be on the safe side, if someone else confirms with a ride. I would suggest you accept. I'll be certain around noon.

Cheers,
Mike

I'm trying to attend this tomorrow. I will be coming from Mississauga. A subway near the 401 would work at 5:30. Last year, I picked someone up at Yorkdale subway - very convenient. I'm going again this year because last year my SD card was bad and many shots had gaping holes in them. This year will be better.

Hi Nancy: As I use Nikon equipment I'm not too knowledgeable about Canon equipment except to say that it is excellent quality. As for the lens I'd say an 18mm-35mm zoom is best, you will use it for 90% of your photography (no matter how many other lenses you get afterwards). You can sometimes save a lot of money buying the camera used, you can look on Craigslist or Kijiji but be careful of scams (never send money to anyone who is going to ship you a camera). Good luck!

Hi Nancy, please get in touch with me directly via email, and I can give you some advise on your first DSLR purchase. What is your budget? What sort of Photography are you interested in? As well, have a go through our discussion boards, where other members have inquired about their first DSLR purchase as well. Specifically under "Cameras, Lenses and Photographic Accessories" section.

Welcome Nancy......Thank you for your kind words.....next time were at a meet up will be happy to help you......and answer questions...Bill

Hello Nancy , I will do my best to answer your questions in next few days. Our group developed a very helpful format that benefited nearly everyone who attended. Sharing, caring, and developing individual and group goals, that we all encouraged each other to realize. I look forward to updating the meet-up board more as soon as I have time. If you show up I am pretty sure you will benefit. Best Wishes and Seasons Greetings, , Robert
