Dear rpavich,

I thank you very much for your insight. It will be put into the game this weekend. I think the idea that distance is involved in a quantifiable way, and to have the way, will be fun to experiment with.

Thanks again,
Bill Withers

Meives,

Here is the original. I am very grateful that you would take the time, and impressed that you'd know what your were reading. I am a novice when it comes to the particulars of how a picture is put together.

Thanks again,
Bill Withers

As you can see this young lady stuck her head in a narrow field of focus. I need some advice on how to widen the depth and still use a fast shutter speed.

Greetings,
My name is Bill Withers, my picture taking name is Hummingbird Bill. I guess that sentence will give you an idea of my main interest and subjects. Needless to say hummingbirds may present some special challenges, as I'm sure all other subjects do.

I also enjoy animals, domestic mostly like dogs, cats, my granddaughter's rabbit Rosie, and pretty much anything else that might wander through the property.

My hope for this association is to learn from more experienced photographers techniques, tips, and hopefully, build some friendships.

If anyone reading this has suggestions on good ways to get started, please let me know. I'm flyin' blind here, at least for a while. Thank you!

A male blackchin, always strong and elegant
