Hello from Michigan

[Fallensurvivorz]

Hello everyone,

My name is Patrick; I've been wanting to get into photography for years. I've been using my friends mom's Canon Rebel G for a few years but never got into depth of photography, I just used it on auto and that was that. I finally started in the fall of 2012 and got my own camera, I took a photography class that fall also to help get into it. My favorite things to shoot are landscapes, sports, animals, and a few portraits here and there. I want to know how to get better at photography, is there a web site/classes I can check out? The school I got to only offered one photography class because they got rid of a lot of art classes that year.

Camera Equipment:

• Canon Rebel XSi
• 18-55mm kit lens
• 55-250mm
• Polarizing filter
• Tripod

I look forward to getting along with all of you. ​

Welcome to TPF. I have been told that the mentor program here is pretty good. Posting for C&C has also been very helpful for me, personally.

What is the mentor program?

Welcome aboard.

my lovely wife is from Monroe, MI.

The mentoring program is where a rookie can link up with a photo vet, based on your photographic interests. Here's a link to the original (I think) thread about it. Yoiu can probably find more using the search feature. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/beyond-basics/125099-official-mentors-bio-list.html
