My name is Bob. I am a Photographer on the East side of the Big Island, Hawaii. Since there is little mammalian wildlife here (feral cows, feral pigs, feral goats, feral sheep, feral cats, mongoose, rat, mouse about sums it up!), I shoot mostly birds, and of course the Kilauea volcano when activity permits. I spend a lot of my time in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I do shoot Birthdays, Real Estate, businesses, candids etc... but the natural world is my home.
I am happy to have found this site with everyones stunning photos, and especially the kind, thoughtful and useful critiques.
Just recently I was honored to have one of my bird photos selected for a Portrait book called "Faces of Hawaii", a first for me, and great inspiration to continue my progress, which I hope this site will help me do as I am somewhat lacking in my PP skills. Since I am currently very limited in my shooting ability due to a shoulder injury, I am hoping to use the down time to increase my knowledge in this area.
I look forward to meeting and interacting with you all.
Welcome to BPN Bob! It sure is a thrill getting published isn't it! Looking forward to your participation, and in the meantime there is lots of info to soak up if you browse around
