I've recently spent numerous hours admiring the photography here, truly stunningly beautiful images. I'm fairly new to SLR photography, been about 18 months since learning what an f/stop is, but I'm loving every minute of it. Especially being outdoors with wildlife, as well as making new friends who share a similar passion. I was shooting birds recently and met Dgrin member Dallas, and he turned me onto this wonderful forum. We crossed paths again yesterday, and thankfully Dallas taught me a few new things to practice. Thank you Dallas!!!

Here's a few shots from yesterday, but the light was less than spectacular.

Cheers,
Graham

Welcome to Dgrin. I can already see from your early posts that it is going to be a pleasure having you here. And it seems you have already met a diplomat from the Dgrin community! Hang out, check out the threads, share your thoughts and talent, and have fun.

Thank you Giphsub and Leaforte,

I look forward to enjoying as much time as possible learning, shooting and sharing.

Here's a few from the past couple of weeks.

Wow! Cool shot of the heron with the mouse! And that last one (I think) of the two egrets on the dark background, nice

Thank you, thank you very much. I feel like I'm making new friends already.

I'm sort of wishing I had signed up with a different name, such as Graham-2, because my name was already in use. ...

Dallas, I truly enjoyed our time together, and I'll put a flash on my D200 next time. Thanks you for being so open and generous with helpful advice.

Cheers,
Graham
