I am in the process of retirement from a career in the IT field and returning to one of my passions, which is photography. Yeah, an old film guy stepping into the Brave New World of digital. I shoot mostly landscape and nature....and any other targets of opportunity. A lot to learn and looking forward to the opportunity to share experience on this site.

Welcome. Have fun. Practice cheap and fun with digital.
Welcome to the UHH.
I recently retired after 38 and a half years in the IT industry but I'm not new to digital photography. Bought my first digital camera in 2000, a Sony Mavica. I started my adventure in photography when I was in high school, many years ago. Years ago I use to carry my Canon AE-1 and my A-1 and compare the results. Bottom line, film and processing were expensive and digital eliminated that expense.
Your best course to learn digital photography is to pick up some good books on the subject. Scott Kelby has a really nice series called the Digital Photography Book. Easy to read and follow. Also, practice, practice, practice...
Welcome Bill.....you'll do just fine and stay tuned each day for the latest discussion over what matters or doen't.
It's a hoot sometimes. Never dull....ever !
Good luck sir.
