Hello everyone.
I have been birding for around a year. I usually go birding with my wife Sylvia who is a member of the forum. My usual roles in our birding sorties are: driver, cook, porter of tripod and scope, and spotter. Recently my wife has promoted me and allowed me to take pictures as well.
She probably did not want to lend me her gear anymore so she gave me the green light to get my own photo rig. I now have the additional role as photographer, in addition to the aforementioned duties. ;D
I just got my own gear last thursday afternoon. I have now tried it for two days and am getting used to all the bells and whistles. I used to use Nikon but have decided to get a Canon at the suggestion of Tina M, our mentor/guru.
I have seen the masterful photos posted in this forum and enjoy looking at the pictures. I do hope to learn a lot by participating in the forum.
