good bye film...hello digital

Post by ocimum_nate »

picked up a Nikon digital slr last night my wife is the best anyhow I am itching for daylight to get out and start shooting. Most of the shots I have previously posted have been transferred from film to digital so be prepared to be bombarded by picture posts.....

No more "wasting film" trying to get the right shot. Just start clicking and pick out the best. :santa: Merry Christmas!

If you click on one of his images so it opens in a new window, then r-click on the image and select "image properties", you can see info about his camera, what editing software he used, etc.

From that, it says "NIKON D3000". :)

So what photo editing software do you use? Those are some very nice B&W shots.
