hi, I am newer than/been exposed to cameras befote you though. liked your bio. looking forward to your pics..--joe

camera and lens count,,but the nut behind the camera counts for more.. learn your comp/subject/camera abities,etc..
also-- your interests may be 'studio',but don't forget--you live in a wonderful part of the country for outdoor work[yes I'm an old montanan and know whats there]...-joe

only way for a beginner to go is UP..go for it/ask questions/show pics.. good luck.--joe

here's my neighbor contribution,from southwest utah.

looking east


sunset reflections,red cliffs

this isn't a -favorite-,just one of the ancient ones..tried to use it to "frame" the background.

natural framing

could have gone a bit closer,but would have lost width,so picked this frame..joe

hey all--I'm joe..been a pentax use for almost 60 years[long hiatus between cameras] currently using a pentax x70[original "spotmatic"]..am happy with what I can afford,but would welcome all critics/information on what I do..
am a member of viewbug [jokescache1],, would love to sell,but know nothing about that.
78 yrs young ticker and bellows not working the best,but keep on "keeping on",as best I can..live in utah currenly as could be guessed from my pics on vb.. best to all.--joe
