Greetings from the ATL!!

[PropilotBW]

Hello everybody, I'm Brian, from Atlanta. Photography has always been a hobby of mine, but I had never really tried to improve my skills until recently (Purchased my first DSLR). I am hoping to learn a lot of new techniques from the users on this forum to hone my skills to create works of art, rather than just a snapshot.

Thanks!

Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the party! I spent over a decade of my life in the ATL (just outside of it, anyway--near Stone Mountain--ever heard of Avondale Estates?) Went to high school there, moved back to my hometown after getting married.

TPF is a great community to accomplish exactly what you are talking about--I've grown more as a photographer in the short time I've been on TPF than I'd ever managed on my own.

I haven't heard of Avondale Estates, but my in-laws live in Loganville.

Loganville is a good bit further east. Avondale Estates is just east of 285. But it's little wonder you've never heard of it. Even today, the population has yet to reach 3,000--it was considerably less than that when I lived there. At that time, it was also the smallest incorporated city in the US (by area) at 1.1 square miles.

It also has the dubious distinction of being home to the very first Waffle House, in 1955. Which, I hear, is now a museum. Seriously--a Waffle House museum! :lmao:
