Hello from the mid-Atlantic! I've been taking pictures for about 6 months now and have lurked on a few sites but I guess I'm ready to come out of the closet. Here in Maryland we have a great opportunity for photographing shore birds and raptors, and that's what I am trying to learn. As soon as my aging eyes can figure out how to post an image, I'll be doing just that. Looking forward to learning and becoming a part of this place. Thanks.
