Hello, I am a new member and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Tonia and I am a "hobbiest" photographer. I live in Tucson, Arizona. I am an X-ray Tech by day and in my spare time try to get out with the camera. I am relatively new to digital photography so go easy on me 'til I figure this all out! I look forward to learning from you all! :wavey:

Welcome aboard Tonia. You couldn't have picked a better forum to link up with. There are some really excellent photographers in this group who willingly share their photos to drool over but more importantly, take the time to crititique member submissions so that we can all improve our photography skills. There's also a wealth of information within some of the drop down menus. Take adavantage of them as well.

Thank you everyone! Pam, nice to know there are some Rad Techs amongst the group! I have been lurking for awhile, but now I have finally entered the relm of digital so I figured it was time to get involved!

Welcome, Tonia! BTW, did you know you can shoot x-ray film in a view camera (e.g. a 4x5?)

Kent, I had no idea you could do that! I wonder what these images would look like w/out the kVp & mAs required to penetrate through a 3D object? Maybe I can find some on google images...
