Introduce yourself!

[CharlieG]

Let's kick things off by getting properly introduced!

I'm CharlieG, and I'm Deputy Editor of Olympus User magazine - I live in Cambridge and shoot with an E-620 and an E-P1 (when I can!). I also tinker with 35mm film and am currently coveting an original Olympus Trip.

I like to shoot anything and everything that moves

Looking forward to meeting some other Olympus Users...

Hi, I'm Brian Goodey and would like to upload some images to the macro competition. Trouble is, the site then tells me to subscribe (which I already do). How do I get over this?

[CharlieG]

Hi Brian,

You should be able to enter an image by uploading your shot to the correct Gallery, then go to the "Competitions" section and you'll be able to select the one you want to enter from your uploaded images. All very simple - when you know how, of course!

Hope you like the new look magazine. Who else is out there?

[TammyLynn]

Hi, I'm Tamara Kwan, most know me as TammyLynn. I'm also an Oly user with my E-3. I've got the 14-54mm 2.8-3.6, the 50-200mm 2.8-3.5 and the FL-50R flash gun. I'm having loads of fun with my kit, I favour it more than my Canon gear most days.

Will there be tea and cakes at the end of this meeting?

[CharlieG]

Definitely. Olympus shaped cakes

While there's not many of us, why not add some links to the Links Directory? We're hoping to create a sort of "one-stop-shop" for Olympus Users that'll help them find helpful, interesting, inspiring or just plain fun Olympus-related websites.

[IpNextGen]

Hi,

Im shooting since 2006, Using OM-1, Trip35, E500, E3, Stylus 800. Mainly have the classic lenses. 12-60,50 f2 4/3, 50 f1.4 OM, 40-150 OM, 50-200 SWD.

I still love shooting with my e-500 when on a trip and uses my E3 for studio and setups.

I have a gallery @ DeviantArt and Flickr. http://flickr.com/photos/ipnextgen/

Ive started without any knowledge with a E500 dual lens kit, since then ive fallen in love with olympus.

Great to see there's such a nice forum starting.

[GheneS]

Finally!
Ghene Snowdon here I photograph babies, weddings and sexy people (don't tell my husband!) with E-3, E420, E500, E-P1.

*big wave to everyone*

[CharlieG]

Hi Ip and Ghene! *waves back*

So excited about this site - if anyone has any suggestions or wants to see something happen, pop 'em in the suggestions forum or email us at info@olympususer.com - it's all for you, chaps!

Hi, David Norfolk here. According to my Flickr profile I'm a "stout, middle-aged, grumpy socialist, likes the civilised things in life".

Favourite lens is 8mm ZD Fisheye.

Have an E3 and e330 (and an e300 I gave to my neice). Also OM1, OM2, Mamiya C33 TLR. I wish Oly had used the sideways mirror in the E3 too .

Photagraphic ambition is to get my ARPS and to make some money at photography. Both seem rather unlikely for now.
