Hello all, I am a new member from the Central New area. I've always taken pictures of various things along my hikes to remember them by but now I'm starting to get a bit more serious about photography. I enjoy taking nature and landscape photos but started to get into nighttime stuff and some astrophotography. I'm hoping to gain more knowledge and understanding on certain things and joining some Facebook amateur photography pages got me nowhere because people only want to share their work but not any insight on how to take certain types of photos. I look forward to meeting new folks and learning new techniques.
