Hi everyone,
I am so excited about this forum!! Thanks Tim for setting it up. I have been filling the posts on facebook for a few months now.
Photography is a serious hobby for me. I first became interested in photography around the age of 12. I saved my paper route money for a year to buy my first SLR (a Ricoh XR7 http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Ricoh_XR7). That was a fantastic camera to learn how to be a photographer & I still have it. I shot mostly B&W then so I could develop and print my own photos. Over the years, I upgraded to a Nikon N70 SLR and then to the Nikon D40 dSLR. I have also owned probably 20 different "point and shoot" cameras along the way. About 6 years ago I decided to upgrade my D40 but was tired of hauling around such a big camera so I started researching mirrorless cameras. After a lot of research and testing, I bought an a6000 at my local camera store. I just added a Sony a7RIV with the 200-600 lens to my collection as I have become very interested in wildlife photography (especially birds). I have mostly Sony APS-C e-mount lenses that I bought for my a6000. In addition to wildlife photography, I enjoy shooting landscapes, flowers and people in their natural environment. I still have a long way to go to become a great photographer and look forward to learning from all of you on this forum. The a7RIV is an amazing camera but I don't currently have the knowledge to maximize its potential. I am hoping that being a part of this group will help me learn more about this camera and how to be a better photographer.
Thanks everyone for reading! I look forward to getting to know all of you better.
