Hi, I just joined the forum and wanted to say hello. I've been shooting pro weddings etc for about 7-8yrs with GL1-2. I've decided to upgrade last week to XH-A1s. This camera is just beautiful, I am just playing around with it and learning all the funtionality.

Welcome! I recently relocated away from that area, but I definitely got my feet wet there. There are some nice lakes and such in Reston to get cool shots, and DC is not so far away with all the monuments. Also, check out the DC Film Salon, a regional film networking group.

I'm down in Fairfax just off Rt. 66. I'm shooting with a Panasonic HMC150.

Welcome aboard!
