Uglyhedgehog forum was recommended to me by another long time member and this is my first post here.
Not sure where to start... I am no photographer. I guess the best I could call myself is an "occasional hobbyist".
It all started when I decided to get my first "real" camera less than a year ago so I can finally get out of the AUTO mode and take better, more realistic pictures than my phone can do.
If you allow me, I would like to share a few of my favorite shots so you can give me your honest critical expert opinions and maybe some advice, which would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Paulie

From looking at your photos and being a occasional hobby, I would love to see what you could do with a little non occasional. Nice pictures.


Good question

Thank you!

Those were very nice photos. If you're past auto, I wouldn't call you "not a photographer". How about beginning photographer, if you're shy about it? Even then, those don't look like beginning shots to me. I'm looking forward to more. Welcome to UHH. Charlie


Thank you!
On one hand there are "photographers" with some fancy equipment, who never switch to anything else than auto, but that wouldn't allow me any experimenting.
First two pictures were taken in Hawaii last fall, about a month and half after I got the camera. Honestly, that vacation was the main reason I got the camera in the first place. To make it fairly cheap, light (for hiking) and soso universal I paired it with Tamron 18-270 besides the kit lens 18-55 Nikkor. I did have some time to learn the basics and practice, before we went there. The Indigo Bunting was taken couple weeks ago in the park not not far from home with the Sigma 150-600 which makes me very happy.
I'm not very good with photo post processing, only do some basic tweaks with jpegs, nothing serious. I know I need to work on that too...
