Yes, I am one of those old guys who used to shoot a lot of transparency film, sold a few magazine covers (not Nat Geo!) but abandoned it all when it became apparent that digital was going to be the survivor. Putting what you wanted on a slide film, which could be tricky and unforgiving, was (and is) an art-form in itself, and I was unprepared to learn the language of photoshop and image stabilization. "f/8-and-be-there" was easy to understand.
Having somewhat relented now and bought an entry-level Nikon and 2 lenses that will hopefully give my grandchildren some remembrances, who knows - I might even find out what some of those other buttons actually do.

Hi, neighbor! Down the road in Brevard.
Welcome to UHH! I'm from Charlotte, NC. Moved to Denver, CO about 2 years ago. I do miss Western NC. I covered Brevard, Hendersonville, Silva, Asheville, etc. for years. Welcome!

Yes, lots of good photogs here, their work in a bunch of art shops all over town. A very artsy little town that attracts retired folks, summer Floridites and other migratory motor-home dwellers towing a pickup truck behind and a golf cart in the pickup bed. Life is good. I'm a native, sort of after 50+ years.
Welcome. We look forward to seeing some of your work. You definitely live a beautiful state for photography.
Greetings, and welcome to the UHH!
