Checking in from Tucson

<p>After a two-week vacation in August, during which I shot 1,400 photos with my Nikon D3000 (and another 800 with my iPhone), I find myself wanting to get back to shooting more and different things. It's just about my only hobby.<br>

I was introduced to 35mm (Pentax) in the early '70s, while stationed in Monterey, Calif. (I know, such a hardship!)<br>

Long about 2000 I got my first digital (an Olympus D-510). I stuck with Olympus digitals until purchasing my Nikon a few years ago.<br>

I've stumbled across Photo.net before, but never felt the need to engage with the community until now.<br>

Here's my <a href="/photodb/folder?folder_id=1094094">first couple of images</a>: Nancy (some recent lighting experiments with the Nikon) and some sunflowers from our vacation (the iPhone).<br>

Cheers!</p>
