I'm Mike. Retired and just got back into photography. Got started in 1970, in Viet Nam. Still have the Asahi Pentax. Now have the Nikon D5100. So much fun. Have been watching this site for some time now. It seems to be a very friendly group. Look forward to viewing everyone's photos and I'm sure I will learn quite a bit from you veteran photographers.

Thanks for the welcome. I have been watching the pictures and the comments for a few weeks. Everyone seems encouraging as well as very friendly. I appricate any comments that I can get. I do have "ViewNX" to use for straightening the pictures. I will try that and see if it helps.

He was out. Thanks for the comment. Just got the Sigma as a used lens. Hoping to use it for indoor volleyball this coming season.

First time I have tried to post pictures. Hope this is done correctly. These were shot with: Nikon D5100 using Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 lens at F/5.6, 1/500 sec, 82mm, ISO 100, W/B manual. Need all the help I can get since I'm pretty new at this digital stuff. Actually, shot these thru a fence.
