New T.P.F. Member from Conroe, Texas - 02-28-2010, 05:11 PM


Hello to all! My name is Rick Shelton from Conroe Texas, a rapidley developing small town just north of Houston. Joined the TPF site today and decided to introduce myself. I am 58 years young who enjoys fishing, hunting and camping. I also loved to golf whenever I could until I shattered my left elbow 2 1/2 years ago and can no longer play.
Loving the outdoors, I decided to try photography to replace my not so good game of golf. It is harder than I thought but, I am hooked and I am willing to learn. Like golf, I have taken a lot of shots, making a ton of bogies, some pars and a very, very few birdies. That is why I am here, TO LEARN. I own a Canon XSI/450D and enjoy making pictures of my two daughters, my wife and of the outdoors.
Please let me know where I can post my questions and my photos on this site. As a new learning tool I look forward to constructive criticism and to meeting new friends who are willing to help me in my new venture.

Welcome Rick, the analogy to golf is a nice one! No mulligans, especially for weddings.

Welcome aboard Rick! I'm sorry to hear about your elbow and golf game, but glad that, if it had to happen, it lead you here. This is a great place to learn and you'll find no shortage of knowledgeable people who are willing to help you out and answer your questions. Don't be shy.

As far as where to post your pictures and questions, just jump into the forum and pick what looks like the closest area to the subject you are posting or have questions about. If there's an area better suited, someone will point you in the right direction.
