Hello from Massachusetts!

[Guest]

After skulking around for some time, I've decided to join the group. I realize this is a UK-centric forum, but as a newcomer to four-thirds and micro four thirds, there really isn't an equivalent elsewhere where I can learn so much about my E-500 and E-PL1. In technology-years, they're both ancient, but suit me beautifully. Bought the former brand new (quite a find!) two months ago and the latter last year. Got two lenses for each body, a speedlight and a couple of umbrellas. All I need is some opportunity and nerve to get out there and practice the art. As my confidence grows, I hope to share my pictures with this fun and friendly bunch. The New England countryside is all I can offer, I'm afraid...

Re: Hello from Massachusetts!

Welcome Jay glad you decided to get involved. Nothing wrong with New England scenery especially in Autumn or rather Fall. Love to see some shots.

Re: Hello from Massachusetts!

The New England countryside sounds pretty good to me!
Don't worry about not being a UK-er, there are plenty of us "foreigners" here! We may even mount a coup one day!
Start posting, there is plenty of help and friendship on this site.

Squirrel, but you would certainly get me with Massachusetts - I have a knot in my tongue only from thinking about it

I lived in Ipswich, MA for 3 years in the late 90's. MA is a fantastic place - hugely under-appreciated by the Brits IMHO. Awareness usually extends to fall foliage and Cape Cod - but there's so much more. The coastline is full of stunning scenery and history.

Here's a couple of shots I took whilst back there for a holiday a couple of years ago (sorry, taken with Canon gear - oh the shame!).

Re: Hello from Massachusetts!

Welcome Jay!

I'm afraid that all I know about Massachusetts is that it's a place where you can't chop your Momma up!
