Since the early years I became interested in photography and got involved in the field as a professional photographer, I happened to spend literally ages by engaging with friends who were asking for advices, thoughts, lessons and photographic support of any kind.
I slowly discovered with pleasure that helping others in photography was much rewarding and more fun than I would have ever bet.
This forum is the natural development of such an experience. True, most of the friends I helped in the past are not here now to ask for beginner's hints anymore. But surely others will; so, as the idea of putting together this very forum has come out of the desire to help people and introduce them to photography, we invite you to stick with us and contribute as you see fit.
Please feel free to ask any question you feel like, reply to others appropriately and, which is more, spread the word to your friends: the more people we are here, the better it is for us all. As long as our community grows and develops, there will be much advantage for everyone.
Enjoy!
