I've just found and joined this forum today. I'm impressed with all the info and more than a little daunted by the quality of photos being posted. So, anyhow.. I'll be around reading and reading and reading more until I get up to speed then I'll pester you all with questions and inflict some of my photos on you.
I'm pretty new to this and using a pair of digital cameras. A Pentax Optio 450 as a pocket camera and a Pentax *ist D S with the stock lens plus an old Tokina 80-200 zoom off the Pentax K1000 I used to have.
I primarily shoot outdoors trying for shots of birds and animals with shots of whatever catches my eye as I walk the trails.
