Future T2i Owner!! :D
« on: February 08, 2012, 06:34:46 PM »
I know I am not officially a T2i owner yet (scheduled delivery is this Friday!) but I just wanted to come in and introduce myself!  My name is Michele and my main hobby for the past few years has been graphic design and photo manipulations.  I have always had a desire to dabble in photography and now I will finally get my chance!   ;D

This will be the first DSLR for me and I am crazy excited!  I cannot wait to get it and start learning more about photography!! I also hope to meet some great people and find out as much info as I can!   ;)

Alright Chelie, welcome to the T2i forums. You have picked a great camera to get started in the digital SLR world with. There are tons of things to learn but if you have the desire they will come to you quickly. This is a great place for the new shooters as we have lots of helpful and friendly people that don't mind helping you though the learning curve.
I'm an old film guy just playing catchup in this digital world. Help me out.

Welcome Chelie  :) At least you can spend some time browsing the forum before your camera arrives to get some early tips and ideas on how you are going to start...  ;)

Thanks!!  I cannot tell you how excited I am!!  Almost wishing I would have forked out the extra money for overnight shipping instead of two day, lol!!!  I am also laughing at the fact that I am having it delivered to my office where there are numerous photography enthusiasts who all use Nikon.  :giggle:

I am definitely going to be spending an unheatlhy amount of time oogling the forums to find out as much information as I can.

Welcome!

Get stuck in, ask lots of questions and most importantly..... take LOTS of photos. Oh, and share them with us of course  ;)
I once prayed to God for a camera, but quickly found out he didn't work that way.... so I stole a camera and prayed for his forgiveness.
