It is a mystery to me Norman, but sharing is what I am doing, had hopes of one day selling the work...not clear on the copyright stuff, I do know the D5100, has a Copyright section on stats of the settings from software related to 5100...not sure this helps though...perhaps we can walk through this at the same time....let me know what you learn, best of luck to ya...

I am the same as yourself friend, I may shoot 50, 60, 70 shots and discover there may only be 5 or less I feel are the absolute best. I do a lot of continuous shooting, (Nikon D5100, also), which I believe accounts for the volume but what we seek I feel as artists are the beauty and perfections we may discover in this world. Keep shooting and choose your absolute best. One great aspect of digital,m no more film to buy and waste as a result of volume photo shots. Good Luck!!

Good point, Don, suppose I should not have been so stringent with the beauty of keeping to myself. I apologize and thank you kindly for setting me on a better path. You are right, better to share! Thanks again!! :D

Can anyone tell me if these photos of mine may warrant copyright...am working on that now, simply do not want the large stock companies taking advantage of the little guy, anymore. People take pride in their work to have Flickr or anyone else to steal them. Don't want that happening. Should we just not post or share? Please advise....

Awesome shots! Very, very nice. Very happy for ya!!!

Welcome! I am new as well, from Texas in US. Love nature and landscape photography. Best wishes to you.

Hi Jim! Love the flowers, I'm from Texas, too. You must live in the panhandle..I am from southern Texas. Welcome and enjoy!

Thanks Donrent, appreciate your valued feedback. Dont have the stats available at the moment but I used a Nikon D 5100, Nikkor 55-300mm lens. I have always felt that when one comes in alignment with his/her creativity, the camera helps as well, providing some basic knowledge is utilized.

I appreciate you kindness. Thanks for the generous welcome.

I am new as well and have been trying my hand at photography, nature and landscape for a few years as well. Welcome and would love to see your work when you have the time.

Thanks!

Yes, I am a Newbie here...trying to share photos and learn, trying as well to make friends. I hope everyone has a great evening or day depending on where you are.

Thanks For Sharing! Love the colors on Black. Stay Creative!
