Baytown New Guy Here!

[mjdmike]

Hello TPF Group,

What a perfect fit -- Texas and photography. I''ve been in Texas all my life, so naturally love it, and have just taken the plunge into photography, and I can't get enough. It's amazing -- and I'm hooked!

I'm a complete newb as photography goes, so am looking forward to learning from the group. I bought a XTi last week, with a 50 f1.4 lens, and am now waiting on a 28-135 f3.5-5.6 to come in today. I hope to jump on a 100-400 L next year before I go to Africa, so need lot's of practice so not to miss that 'perfect shot'.

I've been lurking for a few days, and am really pleased at the friendliness, expertise, and especially the attitude of the people here. It's refreshing to see a forum with this caliber of people.

And don't get me started on the quality of images. I am overwelmed by some of the photos I've seen here. It really gives me an appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and patience it must take to capture some of the shots I've seen.

And it definitely gives me some goals as to what I need to learn.

Mike, welcome to the forum. The Baytown Nature Center is a nice place to shoot, as are some other locations near Baytown. Hope you enjoy and learn a lot here.
