I'm a new K20D owner, and though I have a propensity for lurking, I thought I'd at least introduce myself.
I've been taking photos in some way or another for a long time, from "Stop wasting vacation film on bugs!" to "Here's a digital point-and-shoot, happy birthday, and we're not developing another roll of bugs/particularly interesting twig!" to "Ooh, I am so artistique and fancy with my moody images of *abstract!*" to "Okay. I have a DSLR. When do the commissions and money come pouring in?"
Seriously, I'd actually like to do this professionally one day. I've only just graduated from uni where I studied English (haven't even gotten the papers yet!) so it's not too late. I'm eager to pick up any knowledge I can from you all.
