Welcome to the group. ?You will find great inspiration here. ?I for one will surely find inspiration in your bird work. ?I have missed so many good photos of birds by being unprepared that it haunts me.

?HI Jeff-
Welcome aboard. There are several really excellent bird photographers here (I¡¯m not one of them¡I get lots of BBBs - brown bird butts) and I¡¯m sure you will learn a lot from them¡though having a good knowledge of birds puts you in a great position to make winners. The technical stuff will come pretty quickly as you print more.
I've participated (through Gary) in a few exchanges already, but was just made aware of this site, so I thought it would be good to introduce myself.

I live just north of Seattle. I retired about 8 years ago, the last 10+ years before that I was Gary's primary I/T guy for several of his applications.

I don't really consider myself a photographer, my hobby is birding. But I do focus on photographing birds as opposed to just viewing them. I'm not that knowledgeable about gear and techniques, and have pretty basic post-processing skills (I only use Photoshop Elements).? I have to say I'm impressed with what I've seen on this exchange.
