Hi, I have been with the site for a month or so. My dad was always taking pictures of the family and vacation so I probably got my love for photography from him. I got an Olympus camera for graduation in the early 70's and won honorable mention in a Life Magazine contest. I advance to a Minolta SRT 101 for the next 15-20 years but got tired of carrying the weight so I went to small point and shoot cameras. I always go the best quality I could find and they worked for me for a long time. I then went to bridge cameras and really liked them and also carried the small pocket camera. I still like bridge cameras but I have come back to DSLR. I recently got a Canon 77D and use a Canon 18-200 and Sigma 150-600C because I really like wildlife. I also have a Canon 100 IS L and the Nifty 50. This is why I say I made the full round trip. I am learning quite a lot from all the input from everyone.
This is suppose to be in the Introduce yourself section. I'm still learning to navigate around here :)
