Hello to BPN members!

[Mike Herdman]

Hi......I appreciate being accepted and look forward to being a part of the group. I am a long-time hobby shooter. I do not know where I will fit in as I feel I am not "Eager To Learn" but I feel I am not up to par with some of the images I see in the "Avian" forum. I feel I am kind of stuck in the middle... I am hoping to get some insight and knowledge to fine tune my images....that maybe someday they will be some what near as good or at least presentable as some I see on BPN.

See you around the forums!

Hi, Mike, welcome to BPN! It's the best place to learn and take your photography to the next level

[Doug Brown]

Welcome Mike! You'll find your comfort zone fairly quickly. You can always start in ETL and move up to the big leagues once you've been here for a while. Look forward to seeing some of your images!

[Christopher Miller]

Welcome to BPN, Mike! Looking forward to your participation here.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Hey Mike, welcome to BPN!! Hoping to see some of your images soon :-)

[Mike Herdman]

Thank you for the Welcome...Cheryl, Doug Christopher and Daniel...I appreciate it!

@ Daniel...I plan on getting one up today...still kind of leery as I have only posted for family and friends on facebook...never in a forum like this.

Thanks again for the welcome and look forward to seeing/talking with you all more!

[Mike Herdman]

Thanks for the welcome Cheryl, Doug, Christopher and Daniel, I appreciate it.

I guess it will be awhile before I can post images as I do not have a web site and not sure if I want to pay...to post images....as I am not doing this to make money or a business...just a hobby.

Thanks again and looking forward to seeing/talking with you more around the forums!

You can use a free photo hosting like Flickr to post images. Just follow the directions here for forum participants: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...g-Instructions.

Thanks Christopher...I will look into that.. I have heard of FLICKR but never used it.

Hello Mike,
Welcome to BPN.

[Mike Herdman]

Hi Shantanu
Thank you for the welcome!

Hi Mike and Welcome to BPN... Stuck in the middle is no fun. If you feel confident enough and have an open mind go ahead and start posting in Avian. No doubt you will get honest feedback so keep an open mind and I assure you will learn from it.
