Hi all. I've been snooping around the forums for a few months and figured it is time to come out of the shadows :)
I am an amateur photographer living in Vermont and am renewing my interest in photography by actually learning the art of photography, versus just taking pictures. I recently made the leap to a digital SLR with the purchase of a Nikon D5300, Nikkor AF-P 18-55 3.5-5.6, and a Nikkor AF-S 70-300 4.5-5.6 (I really like this lens). My other cameras are a Canon T-90 with assorted lenses, a Canon EF (shares the T-90 lenses), and a Fuji FinePix S5000 which got a lot of use before I got the Nikon. I mostly photograph nature and wildlife. I am looking forward to the warm weather to combine my renewed interest in photography with my favorite pass-times... boating and motorcycling.
I recently took a business trip to Orlando and was able to get some time in the Greenwood Urban Wetlands... I'll post some pics from that for critique shortly. Attached is a recent photo of an area near where I live... it is an ice fishing shanty on Lake Champlain.
I look forward to learning and contributing!

Matt, Welcome to UHH. Thanks for posting your first image.Lovely image.
Winter in Vermont has many photo ops because mud season can not be fun.
Have fun rediscovering your interest in photography.
