Hello from South Carolina

[James Bruce]

Hello BPN. I've been following Arthur Morris's blog for a while now, but my interest in bird photography (versus "general" nature/wildlife) has been growing and growing lately. I figured it was time to join "the" bird photography community. So here I am. :)

I currently live in Charleston, SC. I look forward to learning more and more about capturing birds (but not just birds since this "ain't just birds") and improving my photography.

Here's a shot of me doing "real bird photography," right? :P

Hi James:

Big welcome to BPN. It's easy for one's interest in bird photography to increase when on BPN. Glad to hear that you joined. We'll be looking forward to seeing some of your photos whether they are in the avian or other categories.

Welcome James. Where's the shot of you???

Welcome James. Where's the shot of you???

Well, I guess it really isn't showing. Let me try again....



Based on the "Preview Post" I'm guessing it's still not working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong though. I'm clicking on the "Insert Image" icon and providing the full URL to an image on my Flickr account. Hmmmm, on the bottom of this reply page, it says I "may not post attachments." Perhaps this is considered an attachment? OTOH, it says "[IMG]" code is On, and those IMG tags are surrounding the URL. (shrug) Who knows. Maybe it's Flickr. At any rate, the URL to the awesome photo is http://www.flickr.com/photos/jab3/5773973657. Although I should probably update my Flickr account with more nature photos... :)

Glad the hand is doing better! Really appreciate the work and teaching you put into the blog and the forums, not to mention the guides and books and workshops, etc. Maybe one day I'll be able to join an IPT.
