After reading postings for a couple of weeks, I've decided to join the friendly fray. It seems so fine spirited, knowledgeable and encouraging to a learning amateur such as I am. It is quite evident I can learn so much from the writings and photos posted here. As a retired middle school teacher, I have gotten more serious about my photography and this forum is certainly rewarding my rekindled passion. Thanks to all of you. I recently returned from a far eastern Kentucky elk tour and spied this fellow in a draw beneath a steep, steep ridge. Atop the ridge sits the multi-towered Sandy Creek Federal Penitentiary. While the elk below roamed free, the human dwellers atop the ridge, not so much. I was using my Canon T2i with a Tamron 18-270mm zoom lens. I was fortunate that the pine-treed foreground behaved and the background elk remained in focus. I'm not too confident in shooting through dense foreground to a distant object. Thanks for your time in reading this.

Welcome, We all learn together, none of us know all the answers, that is why we are here, share our images, thoughts, questions, and maybe something we share will be helpful to a fellow UHH

Welcome to the UHH. If you click "quote reply" instead of "reply" we will know who you are responding to.
My home town is Barlow, in Ballard County.
I became a teacher after I got home from Vietnam and now I am retired from the Los Angeles Unified School District - 15 years at the Jr High level, 18 at Sr High and one year of student teaching at the Jr High level.
Currently I am into birds but I take side trips into almost any subject. I use mainly Canon gear.

Welcome! Fine picture. Just keep shooting because practice makes perfect! I have learned a lot from the UHH just from reading all the posts. It's a working learning device, and even though I'm up in years, and grew up in the film era, and generally know most of what's been said it's great to refresh my memory. There's all kinds of posters here at the UHH, most of them are excellent, and a few are not very good. So be it. All of us have an interest in photography and and interact within the best of our limitations. This interaction in the UHH has also inspired me to keep photographing, and learning. I guess you have to to keep the mind working as you get older, and that's how being on the UHH has helped.
