Hello! Newbie from San Diego

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to BPN, having just recently signed up as a limited member. I'm an aspiring bird and wildlife photographer hoping to combine my life-long love for animals and the outdoors with my passion for photography.

I'm looking forward to exploring this site, interacting with the other members, and learning as much as I possibly can to improve my skills and competence as a photographer. Additionally, I have been a frequent visitor of the Canon USA channel on YouTube and have read and re-read, several times, Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson, The Nature Photographer's Complete Guide To Professional Field Techniques by John Shaw, and The Photographer's Guide To Canon Digital Photo Professional 4.0 by Ari Hazeghi & Arthur Morris.

I'm excited and can't wait so get out in the field!
