Thanks sailorsmom, I appreciate your comments.

Thanks tresap23 I appreciate the kind words.

Here's a few more.

Here in Riverside Calif. we have an American Indian High School. Sherman High School purs on a Pow Wow and they just had it on April 16th and I went for the first time and I had an awesome time and everyone was very friendly and in fact they gave me a ticket to have dinner with them. It was kind of a pot luck that people brought food for the volunteers and dancers and all.
I had a very good time taking pictures with my Panasonic Lumix G7 and I think I got some good shots and I would love to have any of you give me some constructive criticism.

Azshooter, what a great idea to mound something to the chair I would never have though of that. I wonder how easy that would be, or difficult it would be.
I will have to do some research on it, thanks for a great idea.

Billnikon, I've thought about that and we only have one camera story in the whole town. And it's not a small town, Riverside, CA. They sold me my camera and they are very helpful. I could probably get them to let me take it out for a day or 2. You know you are probably right it's just a little bit of a logistics problem. Getting there and returning in my power chair. But it's probably the best method of getting something that I really like and works the best for me.
Thanks for responding.

Thanks for the info I will be sure to check this out. Glad to hear that I'm not the only old guy to get back into photography this late in life. I hope we both get to enjoy our passion/hobby for a long time to come.

I will be using my new Panasonic Lumix G7 with the small lens that was on it and an additional 100-300mm zoom. As I said size is a concern being handicapped and the need of a power chair to get around. I don't have a lot of room to carry camera, lens and tripod. That also brings up my next issue, camera bag. My thinking on my decision to buy tripod first is that being able to have a camera held still might be of more concern than a bag at this time. Maybe I'm wrong, but let's get the better pictures first. I can transport my equipment safely without a bag for awhile.

I'm getting back into photography at 68. I live on my social security income so I can't afford the most expensive or the best, but I'm looking for something that can do a good job. Most of my photography has to be accessible by power chair. So I'm not looking for something that is for landscape out in the woods or fields. More like car shows, air show and local events. Since I travel mostly by public transportation or my power chair I need something that's not to large or cumbersome. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Rob, your photo of McWay falls is just awesome! I have lived in California most of my life, 62 years and I'm 68, or will be in 16 days. And I have to say I have never seen the ocean that blue, it's always been a greenish blue color or a dark green color. Nice picture!

Well I reread my post and I made a big mistake, I said there was not a good spot, I ment to say there is not a BAD spot.... sorry about that.
Have fun at Yosemite, I wish I could go to Yosemite again, but that's ok. I did get to take a girl I was dating at the time to Yosemite, her first time, she loved it.

Thanks for your comments.

Here in Riverside California there is a Native American Indian High School and on the 15th of this month they have their annual Pow Wow. sure hope nothing comes up and keeps me from going to this event. It's the Sherman Indian High School and it's about 2 miles from where i live so it's easy to get to. I hope my pictures are as good as yours.
