Hello

Hello everyone. I have been a member here since mid-June when I upgraded my camera from an Olympus C700 to a Nikon D5200. Now, I will admit this was quite a jump for me and there is so much I need to learn, but, that is why I am here.
I am attaching a few of my recent photos from a trip I made last October to South Africa. I have to tell you, I came home with about 3800 pictures -- the animals in Kruger National Park were so amazing. It was on this trip that I realized my 10 year old Olympus was no longer doing the kinds of pictures I found I wanted to take.
Enjoy the photos. Please note, these photos are not enhanced or upgraded in any way. They are in original format.

Welcome,
it's a nice place here, most everyone is friendly and helpful.
Really like the lion photo, I like seeing the habitat every once in a while.
Just got a D5200 myself and am having great fun with it.

Thanks Mariak. I took so many wonderful photos of the animals in their natural habitat, I could almost do a large coffee table book.
I was extremely familiar with the Olympus so making photos with it was easy. The D5200 is so very different, but I am having fun with it and hope to one day make really wonderful photos with it too.

Thank you. Before I left on the trip, I told everyone I was going big game hunting -- with my camera. And I did just that. I have so many beautiful photos of S. Africa and the trip is one I will never forget. From your photo on the side of your comment, I see you are in Jacksonville, FL. So am I. Nice to meet you. Perhaps we can get together sometime and talk photos. :-P
