Hello all! Greetings from Central Florida! My name is Andrew Harrell, and I'm just now getting serious about photography. Right now my interests are avian and wildlife photography, but I plan to try a bit of everything. I realize how fortunate I am to live so close to some great birding and wildlife areas. Hopefully this gives me lots of opportunity to take pics!
Got a lot of reading to do on this forum, take in what I read, apply, and then hopefully will be better able to ask some semi-intelligent questions. I'll be posting some of my very first pics in the "Eager to Learn" forums as I'd like to learn to take better pictures with the camera, and then post-produce better pictures.
Here's a sample of what I took on my first day with the camera -- I'm an absolute newb when it comes to fully understanding what I am doing both in terms of taking the pic, and then working in LightRoom to do some editing (don't have PhotoShop yet; I'm told I will realize soon enough I will want to get). The photo was cropped heavy as the rest of the pic was not very interesting and had the same background, a bit of touch-up on a few background distractions (wasn't 100% sure what I was doing) ... will post this to "Eager to Learn" for C&C ......
Andrew (everyone calls me "AP")
