Hello all,
I am new to digital photography - and an amateur at photography really - but I certainly have been bitten by the bug. I have been wanting to get back into photography for a long time, but other commitments, distractions and bad habits somehow hot in the way. I bought my first DSLR last November thinking of using it for video (a documentary about tribal fishing in the NW - but that is another story), and I have shot close to 14,000 frames. I am a fisheries biologist - native of El Salvador, but Birds seem to captivate me in a very special way. I find myself wanting to learn about their biology as at watch them and study their behavior and movements as I try to photograph them. And I am just string...
I found this forum a couple days ago and joined hoping to learn from you all. I have just scratched the surface of this forum/site, and I have to say it is a bit intimidating to see all the talent here and the incredible work you do. I do think however that with time and dedication it will sink in. I am beginning to learn to use my new 7D, but it is the PP what I believe will be the biggest challenge for me.
I apologize for not jumping in here ready to give criticism, but I am not yet comfortable about how to do it. I will start with a couple of my own photos when I feel I have a couple to shat and see where how that goes...
Cheers,
Enrique Patiņo
