Hi Folks

Thanks the those responsible for this forum, it seems to be good value & offer the potential for knowledge & experience sharing.

I've worked through a F75, D200 and currently a D800 & Canon G1X. I've got broad interests in photography, but particularly enjoy landscape & macro. I've used Nikon bodies in the past, along with Nikon, Sigma & Tamron lenses. Through work I've used a couple of Canon kits & found them to be very good too.

I'm conscious of not being too focused on the pixel peeping & review reading, rather than just going out and shooting, in the knowledge that a 100% image on a computer screen will look a whole lot different at 1024px web resolution or when you get them printed. I hope to contribute, share and learn in discussions about how to help us all become better photographers & enjoy this excellent gold mine of a hobby.

I'm in the process of working through my back catalogue of images to tag, edit and organise them in a consistent way, and am typing this up at work so can't post any super show-off photo, but I'm sure you'll all cope with that. Instead, this is one I took with a Sigma 50-500 OS lens at 500mm through a giant sheet of glass, I'll take a punt and say it was in M mode, f/8 and 1/320 of a sec with whatever ISO that needed to get a decent exposure - it's been on Facebook so the copy isn't that great & I can't see the EXIF info, but hey, it's not often you get eye contact with a lion.

Hi Chris, awesome lion! I would not have known that there was a sheet of glass between you and the lion if you didn't say so. I'm also new here but welcome!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photos!

Cheers,

Nixs.
