Thanks for the welcome here, David!
Browsing a bit through some posts I've realized that I should tell a bit more about myself for those members who don't know me from dpr.
I like to experiment in photography, and while I strive & struggle to make the best possible photos I'm also prone to stitch and combine them now and then in different ways. My Pbase gallery with some of my work can be visited at
phsan's Photo Galleries at pbase.com
I have a small, but nice collection of lenses that grows slowly but steadily

. I also enjoy my two Fuji P&Ss that I can tag along for those occasions when even my DS with the DA40 attached is too big.
I live and work in Germany, but am quite used to participate in worldwide groups. The first I joined was an Olympus group some years back - because my first "serious" digicam was an Oly 5050. I've learned a lot in forums, try to learn even more, and sometimes try to give something back too. And I do value each and every opinion on my photos I post.
'nuff said for now ...
Cheers!
Phil
