Do you know the way to San Jose?

I am a long time total amateur. I started the hobby in the 70's with a Minolta SRT 101, and have progressed through many different models to my now current Canon R6 Mark II. Six decades and still learning! I like landscape photography for the most part, good shots of my wife, plus photos of our favorite dog. I print my personal favorites (13 x 19, or A3+) on a Canon Pixma Pro-200, I cut my own mats, but I draw the line at making my own frames! I have no more room in my house for new pictures, so I have to rotate things around when I print new ones. Digital display is all well and good, and I have lots of that going on, but prints are the ultimate for me.

I have been a member of POTN, mostly as a lurker, for over 15 years. As some of you may have heard, POTN is closing down next year, and a virtual diaspora of members is taking place. It seems a few are landing here. After looking at a number of fora and reading reviews from other POTNers, this seems like TPF will be a comfortable place for me. And even if, as some people hope, a new POTN is created, it is always good to have alternatives.

Welcome and enjoy the forum. You will find a lot of us here on TPF started with film in the 70s. In my case, with a Canon AE-1. I still shoot a little bit of film (Tri-X 400 and process it in HC110, then scan it), but a lot more digital.

Welcome to TPF! We're happy you decided to join us.

I hope you check out our Photo Galleries, and share your work with us. That's the best way to get to know everyone, and get feedback on your work.

Keep posting and have fun!

Thanks for the welcome! I am going to have to spend a bit of time exploring the forum. After 15 years on POTN, it will take a while to teach this old dog some new tricks.

Quick question - what are the post count levels? How log will I be a TPF Noob?
