I remember doing a google and coming across this site. Shortly thereafter, I began following the Daily Pictures thread. I was amazed at the photos that were being captured and the variety of birds. I said to myself that I wanted to capture photos similar to the ones posted here. I began my quest and this is where I ended so far...2 new cameras and few lens and an obsession for bird photography. Although nature photography (bird particularly) is my passion, I have begun to expand my photographic hobby into other areas such as portraits, dab of macro and other things bird photography is my passion. Thanks to Dave I was able to acquire some pretty nice lenses for a beginner and thanks to Linthicum and other folks here for providing me with numerous places to photograph birds and thanks to all here and the lovely photos which have inspired me. Enough talking, I will continue to post photos of birds and maybe other animals here that I capture with my new lens. Thanks for looking.
