Hello all,just wanted to introduce myself,my name is Bill 57 years old and live outside Inverness at Nairn in the Highlands of Scotland.
I used to be into Landscape and portraiture until early this year when I had a tumor removed from the brain and now family will not let me venture to far from home without an escort so I am mostly confined to the local Nature Reserve at Culbin Sands and the river.
I like photography so I took up Bird and have just started to dabble in Macro/closeup so these subjects are outside my comfort zone but will appreciate any criticism and points to help me improve.
Have started to post my early attempts at bird photography at a feeding station that I set up in the garden
Thanks all will endevour to take an active part in all discussions.
Cheers ...bill

Hello Bill, I look forward to seeing some of your images - I started with garden birds then moved to macro, which I really enjoy now. I am sure you will have lots of tips and advice you can share with us. Enjoy the site and we will see you around - welcome

Hi Big Bill and welcome to the forum from another Scot. Nairn is a lovely place, I camped on the dunes there many moons ago when I used to play golf.

Get well soon and good luck with the photography
