My name is Steve and I live in the town of Falcon near Colorado Springs. I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures, but I really became interested in developing my photography skills after my wife brought home a Cockatiel and I learned to appreciate and admire birds. I've started birdwatching and over the past year I've been using a Canon 50D and 400 F5.6 Lens and recently started using Photoshop CS5 and reading The Art of Bird Photography II. I look forward to learning from this site and improving my photos.
