Hello all. I found this site through a link to some wonderful photo's posted on another forum. I poked around for a while and found this to be a great community and felt I really wanted to be a part of it. I was approved and here I am!
I live in Colorado and really enjoy photographing what this state has to offer. I am looking to take my photography from something fun to do once in a while to learning more about what makes a truly good photograph. Hoping also to lose some of my shyness in posting photo's for critique along the way too.
I'm one of those "technical" thinkers, so I have all the "how a camera works, ISO, F-Stop, Shutter Speed" stuff down and how that effects how a photo will turn out in the end but I lack the "vision" I guess to actually put that to use and capture great photos. P = Professional on the dial...right?
Anyway, I started my photography love affair back in high school around 1987 or so and have been hooked ever since. I was completely film until I made the move to digital around 2002 when the Nikon D100 was released. I then upgraded to the D300 but had to sell off most all my good stuff in 2007 when a life changing event took place. I now have a Fuji E-X1 with the kit 18-55, a lot of older Nikon glass (Fuji X to Nikon adapter is on the way and should be here tomorrow) and a good number of older film bodies (I just discovered the "develop with instant coffee" trick and want to give that a try).
So short story long...That's me a nutshell. I look forward to some good conversation!
