Another newby here! I have been visiting for a while and really enjoying the personalities and certainly the pictures. It never ceases to amaze me the number of people willing to share knowledge of their craft. I thank you all for that.

I wanted to check in before the new year (central time) and greet everyone. I hope to be more active in the very near future. I bought a Nikon D70 years ago to take pictures of my horses. I was so busy with them, that I never really learned all the features of the Nikon and pretty much stayed in Auto. I did get many good pictures of them though. Life happens, more horses, less time and the Nikon was put away. Now I am selling horses, so hard for me to do. Taking care of my Mom who has dementia and recently diagnosed with lung cancer. I figure while all this is going on, I will have some quiet time to study a new camera... Woo hoo. We recently purchased a place on Petit Jean Mtn, 5 min from the State Park, lots of opportunities there for landscape shots. Still have a few horses to take pictures of too.

Minutes till the new day. Looking forward to a great new year! Hope you all have a great New Year holiday, get some great shots!!

Welcome to the site. The D500 is an awesome camera.
Thinking maybe a D500. But still looking at options.
