Hello all, I had been thinking about signing up for a photography forum for a while and finally pulled the trigger after lurking.

I started out taking a photography class in high school 15 plus years ago and then fell out off it for a while. A few years back the bug bit me again and I picked up a used Nikon D5000 for cheap. I've been learning quite a bit and have seen the quality of my pictures steadily improve, but I need help from more experienced people to help improve my technique and teach me post processing, and flash photography.

My main interest is aviation photography, but I also enjoy taking picture of other mechanical things, animals and starscapes.

I can't wait to dive in!



EDIT: just got home and edited for spelling/clarity.

Welcome. I'm from Fairfax and Braineack is close by.

The basic rule with this forum to get the most benefit from it is to follow the rules of Chicago voting: participate early and often!

Thanks for the warm reception! Any of you other local guys going to the open house at Udvar-Hazy next week?
