New guy sayin' hi...

[RJM1017]

Hello all!
Just wanted to say hello to everyone and post a bit about myself. I've been learning photography for about 15 years now strictly as a hobby. Started out just wanting to take better family photos, I quickly found myself learning and practicing as much as I could. Before long, it turned into a GREAT way for me to "escape reality"....even if only for a little while.

The main reason I joined TPF is mostly for comments and criticism on my photos in hopes to continue to learn and to be able to produce something that I am proud of. Also, I am hoping to upgrade some of my gear soon and I'm sure TPF will prove to be an excellent resource!

My bag currently includes:
Canon 60D
Canon 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 kit lens.
Canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens.
Tamron SP 70-300mm 4-5.6 VC.
A few misc. filters.

A few of my fav. shots over the years. Again...just a hobbyist here.

CC are always welcome as I feel that I can always improve on something. Sorry for the long post and Thank You for having me! I look forward to learning what I can and sharing what I've learned!

Welcome and WOW! I suspect there's a few pros that might be a little envious of your "hobby"skills. Looking forward to your future posts.

...I wouldn't go that far, but I greatly appreciate your comments. I've taught myself everything I know (which isn't much...lol) through reading and shooting. I just wish I would have found this much earlier in life and turned it into something...

Thanks again!
