Just wanted to say howdy
Thanks to Marina Scarr telling me about this site. I'm John Lentz and live in Huntington W.V. Originally from West Texas. I'm an ex Navy diver and Vietnam vet who has worked the last 28 years with the V.A. as a RN in trauma and now surgery. I just bought a bunch of Canon DSLR gear and am a total novice to digital photography. My main interest is nature/wildlife and macro photography. Would be very interested in hearing about any workshops and/or seminars in the Smokey Mountain area as well as anything fairly close to West Virginia. Hope to meet as many people as I can on this site. Thank you

Hi John:
You certainly have come to the right place to learn about nature photography. A good place to start is on the Eager To Learn Forum, where you can try out all sorts of different types of nature photography and get very useful and supportive critiques.
It can be a life long adventure, so jump right in!
Cheers
Randy

So glad to see that you joined, John! I believe you have come to the right place. The best thing to do to improve quickly is dig in by viewing some of the images, and then reviewing the comments and critiques. It will really help you develop an eye and immediately help with your photography. You also have the photography gear forum where you can go to ask questions about your new gear. Check out the workshop forum in case there's a mention of any workshops in the Smokey Mountains you were looking for.
I hope I"ll have to go and check out the macro forum for one of your images soon!!!
