time and place Loc: Oly Penn, WA.

I’ve been viewing this site for the past several months and felt it was time I identified myself. It’s amazing how I have been drawn into the daily flow, and the amount of knowledge that is freely shared. It’s become a part of my daily routine.

I’ve been taking pictures for over 50 years, but remain stuck on auto. I can see however, that if I stick with this site, I will be getting into manual mode and out of Photoshop, or in my case, ACDSee. I shot Nikon for Film, and so I shoot Nikon Digital, with a Nikon D 7000. I’m ready for the next level and I think I’ve come to a good place for that.

I’ve taken the liberty of posting several of my photo’s where nature choose to show off. Any comments or alterations are always welcome.

Thank You…………………Carl

Welcome to the group....
We just had a discussion on another thread. It eventually boiled down to wise words from Alaskan, who posts the most amazing wildlife and other shots you'll see anywhere. While manual may let you explore some options, if AUTO works for you...dont try to fix what aint broken.

Love the CO XMAS one. You had a good eye there. I use manual focus all the time but everyone has their own preference. Whatever makes your boat float. Look forward to seeing some more of your stuff. Welcome!!
