    New Old Guy...

    Or would that be Old New Guy?... Either one would be pretty descriptive and accurate.

    Tried to add a little info in my profile, but basically a retired IT guy who likes photography and don't know much about it... Back in the day I had several 35 MM SLR's but when the new media came out I just stuck with the point~N~shoot stuff... I actually figured that some enterprising youngun would develop a drop in full size sensor that would retrofit our old film cameras, but have waited quite awhile and it just ain't happened... I did jump right on board and purchased my first digital somewhere in the mid 90's, a Casio QV-10... (What a piece of junk) Since then I have owned quite a few, some that even wrote files to a floppy disk drive, but only now have purchased a DSLR... Went with the T5i and the 18-55 stock lens...

    Welcome Joe...whatever camera you are using, it does not matter. What most of us look at here is your submission, your upload which you want to either share with us, or a shot you would like us to critique...with all the helpful members here, even a simple snapshot which you wanted help on how to improve, will/might make it like a million dollar shot (not really...) but you know what I mean...we all have to start somewhere. And the place to start is right here.

    Also, be sure to comment on other submissions too of other members. We all appreciate feedback. There is a caveat though -- you must have thick skin to accept criticism. It is how we learn.

    So jump in...don't be shy...and enjoy this forum...we don't bite.

    We have a digital channel that carries the show at random times of the year, also I believe it's available on Hulu.

    Never tried Hulu... Did subscribe to Netflix a few years back and have enjoyed that, and they do carry quite a few of the old TV shows... We didn't get a TV until 54 (yep, I was a young feller), so I missed quite a few of the early episodes but I'm sure I have caught them all in reruns over the years...

    There is a free version of Hulu, sometimes they'll ask you to subscribe in order to view certain content.
