Hi there,
I am an amateur using an alpha 100 since december 2006. I'm usually taking pictures of my daughter, who's around 1 year now, and other family members, but I generally don't post those on public fora. Other subjects are panoramic shots, landscapes, the cat and whatever else catches my eye (provided I have a camera and the opportunity to take a shot . My camera is normally set to shoot RAW+JPG.
I use a Linux only workflow for processing the shots. This consists of Kubuntu and the wonderful digikam photo organiser. For editing I use the Gimp with UFraw. I make my panoramas with Hugin.
Most of the time I use my minolta 50/1.4 for indoor/portrait shots. At some point I hope to get a camera with either full frame and high ISO capability (like the Nikon D700) or something else with at least better high ISO capability.
I also read the dpreview forum, though I don't care for the heated discussions and speculation threads. I prefer the posts about technique and technology and of course, the occasional photograph
Cheers
Simon

Re: Hello from the oldest city in NL
Hi and welcome - we have one other panorama/Hugin/Linux specialist around, who provided a really good large article for the last edition of Photoworld - Daniel Oi who is currently in Glasgow. I suspect his article was above many heads but for those who wanted to learn, it was about as good as you can manage in four pages.
