After reading many of your posts and viewing photos, I thought it was time to introduce myself. I'm a photography hobbyist and have been shooting with a DSLR for about 4 years. I began shooting with a Nikon D5100 and now have a D750. My photography journey started when I wanted to take better pictures of my two sons. Both were competitive swimmers and one was an avid runner - track and cross country, so I had to learn quickly how to shoot action in many different lighting situations. I still enjoy shooting sporting events - volleyball, basketball, soccer, and now archery. I love landscape, plant, flower photography and am now attempting portraits. It's fun to look back at past pictures and see my growth, but I know I have a long way to go. Always something to "shoot" for, right? I look forward to all feedback and constructive criticism of any of my future posts. Most of you are so very kind. I will apologize now for any newbee mistakes I make in this forum. Attached is one of my landscape pix from this summer.

Great image for a first posting. Just for the heck of it, try a B&W conversion.

Great idea rgrenaderphoto. Here's my attempt at B&W. I added a little more contrast to sky.
