    Default Hello from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada...

    Just signed up yesterday, and became a member today. It appears I am in great company and amongst some talented people! I have been photographing birds for about 3 years, and became an avid avian photographer about 18 months ago after I picked up a 500mm Sigma prime lens. I look forward to becoming a participant, and having the likes of Arthur Morrris, Daniel Cadieux, Jame Shadle and so many others here (forgive me, I know there are tons of other marvellous photographers here) to critique images I believe will only help me grow and improve my knowledge & techniques.
    I hope to start posting soon and expect "honest" critiques.
    In the mean time, some images I have worke on over the past couple of years can be found at:
    www.richarddubiel.zenfolio.com

    Regards,
    Richard

    Welcome to BPN, Richard! I checked out your site - you're on Zenfolio as am I but your page is soooo much better. I have got to spend some time working on mine come winter!

    You have some beautiful images...be sure to check out the educational forums as well as the Avian...there's so much good stuff here you can ready for days. And don't worry about the critiques being honest...we shoot people for saying "Great shot!" :)

    Hi Richard,
    I just updated my membership and see that we are in the same city. This is a great place to learn about bird photography and photography in general.
    Looking at your site I noticed pictures from Mountsberg Raptor Center. I was there for the first time yesterday. You have some great pictures on your site.
    Take care,
