    Hello, my name is Jack Dean. Since I was a child I have always enjoyed nature and photography has long been a hobby of mine. I am a shipping and receiving clerk by trade and I live in Northern Kentucky. I love the state that I live in and I am proud to call it home. I have asked to join this group so that I can learn as much as I can. I am a self taught photographer and am always looking to increase my knowledge. Thanks for having me.

    This is a Great Blue Heron taken at Kincaid Lake near Falmouth, KY from my john boat.

    Welcome, Jack! What a nice image of a bird in his habitat with prey. I think that 99.99% of the BPN members are self taught and most of us have day jobs, thankfullly :) . We all are constantly learning from both receiving and offering critiques, sharing tips on everything from field to processing. Pop in to the forums and join in the fun. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

    Welcome Jack. I like the composition of your GBH shot, showing the environment, with space out in front of the bird.

    Welcome aboard, Jack. From the looks of your gear and image, you are off to a good start on the "self taught" portion. The good news is that you'll learn even more here, and always feel free to ask for advice in any of the forums. Looking forward to seeing more of your images!
