Please - the recent article in 
tipped the balance. 
Been thinking about it for a while.
Only just got a DSLR last month and I'm still really just taking practice shots to get used to all the new settings, but I'm happy to share anything I take worth sharing.

...and apply for membership. We're just getting to the end of a round of photo taking (deadline Saturday noon) but once the voting is over there'll be a fresh lot to work on

Thanks!
Just a question - how active do you have to be, I'm not out taking photos every day, so will be able to contribute every now and again.
Also do the photographers take photos to order for particular entries or is it about finding something in your catalogue that is relevant?

You don't have to make a quota or anything like that, but you don't get a badge until you've had five photos used on entries.
It's partly about submitting photos for the month's list of entries, following which we vote on which photo should be used for each entry. However, if you have any photos that are for a specific subject that aren't easily taken by someone else (eg a certain animal, plant or geographic location), you can add them to the fast track folder. All the instructions are on the group pages

Welcome, Clive! As Alex said, the current round will close on Saturday, but have a look in the Files section to see if you have any suitable photos.

Thanks again, for letting me into these Hallowed Halls.
