Not a 'lurker' anymore...
I subscribed a while back but have been lurking in the shadows reading and learning. Photography is relatively new to me and I am learning by reading and trial and error...mostly error. I started with a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS two years ago and now am using a Canon Rebel T6s with an EF 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 L IS lens. Actually I use both cameras when I get in my car and drive for hours to capture nature. That is my preference...nature shots, mostly birds. I've learned quite a bit by reading the answers to the questions posted and enjoy looking at the photos posted. I only have been doing jpeg as I know nothing about the post processing that goes on other than how to crop. I use the app on my iMac...'Photos' only. I am not very proficient with the mysteries of processing.
In my other life I was an RN, Horticulturist, and an avid cat rescuer. My moniker...'Tilly's Mom' is for the abused kitten I found biking and her photo is my avatar.
My hobbies ...biking, quilting, gardening, cross-stitching.
I welcome all comments...especially when I post photos.
This photo I took 3-16-18 of a ShortEar Owl.
That's quite the entry photo. Beautiful. (and Tully is handsome too)
Hope you post many more here. You won't find a friendlier crowd than UHH.
Good shot!

Welcome to the UHH. That is one great shot of a shorty in flight. I only saw my first one last weekend and did manage 2 decent flight shots. They are somewhere in the 700 or so shots I took that morning. You put a smile on my face when you said you aren’t very proficient with the mysteries of provessing. Sounds just like me. I shoot jpeg and the only processing I do is whatever my iPad allows - usually just some cropping.
You will learn lots here. I know I did, and continue to do so.
Again - WELCOME!and enjoy!

Welcome Tilly's Mom. Thanks for coming out and posting your first image. I love nature also. You are special to rescue cats. In my life I rescued 6 and found homes for them. Your image of the Short Ear Owl is outstanding.
Wow! Great capture! Welcome
good start
My wife uses a SX-50 I got for her, but she is just casual and uses it for a lot of video of our younger son in Special Olympics.
RNs rule, Debra finished as an OR Charge Nurse.
Very nice. Welcome to UHH.
Welcome to the HOG.

Well taken.
Enjoy the forum and your photography.
Great Shot! You have talent! Welcome to UHH!
