I'm starting a group of people who are interested in learning more about digital photography, preferably with their DSLR camera. It's come to my attention that many people make that leap from a point-and-shoot to DSLR and yet and not sure how to utilize their new toy to it's fullest potential.   I've been a semi-professional photographer of sports, portraits, and weddings for nearly four years and am an enthusiast of new techniques, new gear, and new subjects. Subjects can be people but can also …

The purpose of this group is not to be confined to one type of photgraphy …
