Beginner Bitten By the Bug
Jun 9, 2020 14:18:38 #
Hi,
I am new to photography and primarily use a Canon 80D with a Tamron 18-400mm lens. I use Photoshop Elements 2020 for post-processing (recent photo attached, I hope). I have enjoyed reading posts over the past month or so and have been trying to get out every day. Feeling a bit obsessed as I have been bitten by the bug. Now what? I am filling up my hard drive, making a photo book or two, canvas art on the wall, etc. What do you folks do with all of your photos? Ideas welcome!. Thanks.

Aloha Jerry and welcome to UHH. We're glad that you have joined us and look forward to seeing your photos. (No photo showing in your first post -- try again.) You've got a great camera and lens, I do love the Tampon lenses. As for what I do with my photos. I give them to family and friends so they can enjoy the photos also especially if they were at the event where the photo was taken. I do also print and frame photos for around the house. Keep on taking your photos and sharing them.

Welcome aboard.
When attaching, you need to wait for the upload acknowledgement and then click "Send". If you leave the page before the acknowledgement, the upload process will stop.
I don't take a bazillion shots, so I just keep them in an appropriate folder for later use/nostalgia purposes.
I print & mat some, donate some (matted), mostly post some on Facebook and my website.
Since you are starting, it's best to develop some sort of organization system up front so you can find them easily later.

Welcome. Post and have fun. I save my images to portable hard drives and share them with my family and friends and post some on photography sites. I have thousands saved and like to go back to the archives to look at them now and then.

Welcome to UHH Jerry. Very nice shot of Mr Cardinal. Glad you joined us. As some have said, I take some pic and give some away. I shot a wedding for a close friend and after processing and printing, just gave him the bill for printing. Most of my pics are saved to external hard drives.
