Hello, I have just signed up as a paid member. I have been a viewing participant for a while and have now plucked up the courage to post some of my images- expect to get some hefty critique to start with and maybe for many years to come.
I have been a birdwatcher for most of my life- 48 yrs- and was sucked into the photography side of this fascinating hobby about 3 years ago. I have my friend Adrian Dancy to thank-or hate- for this. I am now many pounds poorer!!, but I feel a lot richer in getting enjoyment out of our hobby. I started with a second hand set up then moved to a 50D and 400 f5.6 ( still have both as back up)and over the last year or so have upgraded to my current gear. 1DmkIV, Canon 500 f4is + other bits and bobs. I am a full time police officer and get plenty of days off during the week. If any forum members come over to the UK and wish to meet up I will be more than willing to arrange some birding/photography in the damp, wet, North West of England. I also travel around the UK and holiday in Europe, trying to mix both family holiday and birding if possible.

The best thing is just to get stuck in both in terms of posting images, but just as importantly, contributing to other members posts too. You will find a wealth of knowledge on here, so don't be afraid to ask or just sift through the various sections. Enjoy!
