In 1938 at the age of twelve, I got my first adjustable camera: a Pilot 6. Has anyone heard of it? It's a small SLR---127 film---mirror is part of shutter---shutter speeds 1/25th, 1/50th and 1/100th---f6.3 lens ---rotatable disc behind lens with perforations rather than an iris diaphram. Never stopped taking pictures with dozens (maybe grosses) of cameras. Now shooting a Nikon D610 and doing as well as a computer-iliterate has any right to expect. I hope to find good-samaritans among my Hog brethren to lead me out of some of the rediculous fixes I manage to get into.

Hello and welcome!! Don't worry, there are plenty of great people here who are very willing to help.
Welcome to the Hog, Bob. You will find a lot of help here, you only need to ask. ;)
Greetings Bob, and welcome to the UHH!
Welcome to the Hog, nope, never heard of the Pilot 6.
Bob: Welcome. You'll have me as company in being led out of those fixes you mention.

Bob, welcome to UHH. You'll like it here. I lived and worked in Eugene for several years, I met my wife-to-be there, and I was a member of the Downtown Rotary club. Eugene is the place I have enjoyed living more than any other. You're lucky to be there, and the UHH is lucky to add someone with your depth of photographic experience.
Aloha Bob and welcome to UHH. You'll find lots of help here and so many great photographers willing to assist and aide us in improving our photography.

Hi Bob, welcome to the hog. You will find many people here at the hog ready, willing and able to help you learn. Just begin by asking questions and posting some of your images. You will find how fast you will learn.

Thanks Rich, and all others that have welcomed me aboard. I'll try to send a couple of pix with this. Not at all sure how to get the JPGs from my Mac Iphoto to the form below. The depth of my ignorance in all things computor-related is really impressive. Bob

Hi Bob, I too have had problems from my Mac. What i did was to pull the shots i wanted to post, out of my mac and paste them on the desktop. From there i just went to the hog input, and pulled the shots into the hog. I bypassed the iPhoto altogether. Hope this helps.

Thanks Rich. I'm about to try it. bob
