| | | Hi to everyone
Hi to you all.I am a newbie to WAB and also a newbie to digital photography.I found this site quite by accident whilst looking for information on wildlife photography.I have always been interested in wildlife particularly birds and having just moved to the area last year i visited our local nature reserve last August.Whilst sitting in one of the hides I was fortunate to be able to watch a pair of kingfishers.Up until then all i had seen of these stunning birds was a blue flash.I had my binoculars with me but when I saw the stunning photos the blokes in the hide were taking it made my mind up to take up photography.I was given a Pentax p30 35mm camera and 200mm lens to learn with and have just bought a Pentax K10D.Unfortunately
the 200mm lens will only work in manual mode which is fine providing things stand still and I am now saving up for a Sigma 70-300 lens.I am registered disabled and have mobilty problems but this new hobby has given me a new lease of life.Sitting in beautiful surroundings watching and photographing stunning wildlife makes everydays problems a lot more bearable.Sorry to waffle on I will be sending in some photo`s that will hopefully get better as I learn more about the camera and also i will learn using the invaluble advice given on this website.
Thanks Graham  |

Hey,
Welcome to WAB. I managed to stumble across it too and it's the best stumble I've made.
There are some really excellent photographers that spend a lot of time here so whatever your question, chances are there are going to be 3 or 4 people with professional opinions to share with you.
