I have been shooting pictures for a long time without really knowing what I was doing - started off with an old Polaroid foldup in the mid 60's. Pretty much a point and shoot kind of person. But now I own a pretty good camera (D7000) so I am trying to learn. Being recently retired will, hopefully, give me the time to devote to this fun activity. I am amazed at how well the people here do with photography and am hoping to learn a little so that I can become better at it and use this camera to its full potential. I enjoy the comments and tips and the great pictures people post.
