New To Photography Talk

Hello everyone. 

My name is Doug and I live and shoot mainly in the SW Washington/NW Oregon area. I enjoy getting out with a camera and looking for interesting (at least to me) things to capture. I recently began teaching my 10 year old  granddaughter the joys of photography and we have had some fun adventures. I finally joined after almost three years of wavering on the fence. I plan on using all of the training materials available and look forward to posting more photos and any critiques that come my way. I hope as I learn more that I can also assist others with this wonderful way of life. :cheer:

Welcome Doug! So nice to have you here. I love that you are teaching your granddaughter to take photos. It would be fun to see each of you take a photo of the same thing and put them together.

Hi Doug,
           Welcome to the forum and enjoy your learning experience. I found the best ways to learn are ask questions and experiment.
