I'm a nurse midwife by profession, and photography & the outdoors is my passion.
I welcome all comments and critiquing of my images.
My equipment includes: Nikon D200, Gitzo GT2932 Basalt tripod, Markins Q20 ballhead with Really Right Stuff lever clamp.
Lenses: Nikon 18-55mm, Nikon 50mm 1.8, Sigma 70-300 APO DG, Nikkor AF-S 70-300 VR, Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 170-500.
Nancy, welcome to BPN. As a forum participant you have to link them from another site online. Most of the critique forums have the "how to post" guidelines at the top of each main page but here's the basics for forum participants to follow:
Click on "New Thread" in the forum of your choice.Left click the "Insert Image" button in the tool bar
The button is square with a mountain icon. The words "Insert Image" will appear when you mouse over the button.
Copy URL including http:// of hosted image and click OK.
After inserting your image, go to your message window and fill in your "Title" then in the "Message Window" give as much info as you can to help those who will critique your image. Please include technical data, such as, but not limited to, camera settings(ISO, f/stop, Shutter speed, support, flash etc.) time of day, weather conditions and location. If your subject is captive, please disclose that fact.If you have attracted your subject or subjects into photographic range with food, water, audio, or by any other means, please let us know. If you have significantly altered your image by adding or removing elements of the composition, we ask that you disclose that as well. This information will benefit all members and add to the educational value of each post. Anything else you can think of? If no -"Preview Post".
Clicking "Preview Post" first will show you what everyone who opens your post will see. If there is something missing, go back to your open window and add it, then click Preview Post again....do this until you are satisfied with your post, then click Submit.
Nancy, Big welcome from to BPN. If you have any more questions feel free to drop me a private message. Are you going to Photorama in Long Branch to see Frans Lanting on Sept. 11th?:)
Hope you get the posting figured as I'm looking forward to your participation. Julie's instructions are clear, excpet the "insert image" icon is now square with a tree inside it:). We're all here to help, so don't be shy to ask around!

Thanks for asking, Arthur. I so enthusiastically joined, and intend to continue. But, my life has been very complicated these last few weeks. Family stuff. Don't worry; I'll be back, and posting. I think next week may clear up for me.
Nan
