Well said and welcome Syyd and Colm :) Looking forward to the forum changes and learning some new photography hint and tips and of course sharing what I know as well :) I am a photography hobbiest , started when I was 10 with my own b/w darkroom and have done it ever since :) In the last year I have gone exclusivly digital with my Nikon Coolpix 950 and I must say I love it!! I am currently working on merging 2 of my favorite things together , computers and photography with a new series of software called KoolKam that will be available here very soon. It mixes the use of your digital capture devices and real time special effects to allow you to make what I think of as real time artwork. No need for post production to get kool effects any more :) Well thats all I have to say for now, except to wish Syyd and Colm the best of luck in making this forum and great community grow and flourish :) Peace and Creativity Chris
