["Ted Bayer" <tedbayer@harbornet.com>]

The post below prompts me to write to the group about the rules of the
group. Are they posted somewhere?  I must have missed them.

Everyone has been kind and very helpful - answering my questions and
helping me avoid problems buying my camera -- and I thank you all for
that. So I certainly don't want to offend anyone with the pictures I
post.

I am new here and not ready to try PAW -- I need a little time to learn
to use my new equipment.  I will be using an M3 and a 50mm 'cron.
That's it.  I don't have access to a lab so will have to rely on the
local photo shop for processing (I have also seen a few negative
comments about doing that).  I have an inexpensive scanner and can do a
little cropping on my computer, but that is about it.

I live in a rural area on a peninsula in Puget Sound, Washington.  My
goal is to shoot life around me that will convey a mood, a story, or
just life as I see it here.  We get a lot of rain in the winter (up to
14 inches in a month), so I may have to postpone shooting from time to
time or take some shots out an open window while sitting in the car. ;-)

If what I am doing falls within the rules of the group, I'm ready to go.
If not, please help me out by telling me where I am going wrong.

Thanks,

Ted in Olalla
