Hey to everyone. I've followed this site for a bit and can say that I really like the folks here. I used to be a photographer in the Air Force back from about 1983 until 1989. Then I finished college and became a helicopter pilot...go figure! I kind of lost touch with the profession but now, I'm wanting to get back into it. Wow! things sure have changed. I learned to shoot on a Pentax K-1000. Now, there's so mush electronics, it's almost overwhelming. But not quite. I decided to start slow. I got a Nikon D-5300 with a 18-55mm and 55-300mm kit lens. Also, a 50mm 1.8 prime. So, now I'm in the process of relearning the pleasure of photography. I hope I won't bore, or perhaps anger, any of you with my constant questions or stupid suggestions....just call me Mike. Also, how do I make a signature?
