Hello all,

my name is Joe, from Washington D.C.

I've just started to take photo's, though have wanted too for awhile. My girlfriend is great at post editing, and also takes some great shots, so we decided to get an old Yashica Electro TL and play with it.

If anyone knows of any good sites with info on basic techniques, I would love to know some!

Thanks,
Joe

You found it, welcome! Use the search tool, there is a lot of knowledge here, and ask if you can't find what you are looking for.

Welcome Joe and hello from Montreal, Canada, happy to see that you and your keyboard are not stuck under the snow.

Welcome Joe. There is a sizable and skilled APUG contingent in DC and surrounding areas, and I crash their parties and eat their food from time to time.
