Introduction

I'm enjoying the many opportunities to get out and shoot. I've learned so much and look forward to attending many more events. There are a lot of very talented members who are happy to share what they know.

Are you a Professional, Semi-Pro, Amateur, or Beginning photographer?

I've promoted myself to amateur.

What are you looking to contribute and or learn from the group?

I'm looking forward to becoming a more technically competent photographer and possibly learning how to photograph people.

How many years shooting (All mediums - film, and digital)?

Off and on for 34 years. Started with a Minolta XD 11 then got a Nikon D50. I recently traded up to a NIKON D7000.

What is your favorite type of shooting (Landscapes, Macro, People, Events, Family...etc)?

I love the outdoors so landscapes and macro. I'm terrible at photographing people and need to learn how to do that better.
