Hi everyone. I'm a 63 yr old retired Boeing/SpiritAero Quality Assurance Inspector.
In high school I was in the photography class, shooting Pentex cameras and BW film, developed film in a darkroom and printed in same darkroom....I liked photography but after HS it was cars and girls...never really going back to SLRs, just using point-n-shoots for travel, vacation stuff.
After marriage and kids, I got a Nikon D70s and really liked the whole digital photography thing...because you could take 1000s of photos for free!
Upgraded to D200 with a 70-200 2.8 VR and got into senior photography for awhile...got a D40 for hiking and traveling, and really loved the smaller body....after retiring at 56 yrs old, started traveling in the RV for months at a time, upgraded to a D3500, the recently to D5600...still loving the smaller bodies and the AF-P VR lens...have the AF-P 10-20 VR, 18-55 VR and 70-300 4.5-6.3 VR.
Early Nikon years was using desktop LR and PaintShopPro ...after getting the D3500/D5600, I used my phone and Snapseed...last year I went with LR Mobile and I'm really loving it.
During our RV travels, I guess I became a birder...lol...and wildlife photographer
I kinda like the challenge of using "entry-level" gear to get really spectacular photos.... contemplating buying Nikon 200-500 but just can't pull the trigger, due to costs, plus my compact lil' camera would become more burdensome.
But I enjoy reading forums and learning things that improve my skills and photos.
Looking forward to exploring here!
