Hi, I'm an amateur but I'm def all about photography. I like taking photos of nature, animals, and architecture. I hope to learn more here. :)
 
LOL! It's extreme SE Washington just above Texas! J/K. And I'd def rather be living near the space needle! Thanx for the welcome! I know I wont be able to really contribute to the NWP photos but, after seeing Bob's photos, I decided this would be an awesome place to learn more about photo techniques.
 
LOL! Thanx for that! :) I'm just a newbie photographer but I'll def be happy to share! I'll just be sure to label them Oklahoma so nobody gets confused & thinks Washington is a prairie state, lol!

Actually, you can contribute. Everyone is welcome! Please, feel free to post your photos. We even have a section in the photo gallery for images taken outside of the Pacific Northwest.

The only thing specific to the Pacific Northwest is the location discussions. Often we'll have folks talking about "I'm going to the Olympic Mountains, what should I shoot?" or "Where's the best view of downtown Seattle for night shots?"

The vast majority of the discussions cover subjects that work just fine anywhere. Exposure, compensation and the like don't change at the Idaho border. So much of what we talk about will be of interest to you.
 
Thanx Jake & thanx Bob! :) I already have 13 photos ready to post! And I def know I'm going to learn a lot here! Someday (soon I hope) I might even graduate to a Canon camera!

I tried but it puts up a box that says the category I chose can't contain photos. ??

ROFL! :D I just posted 13 pics! And yeah, I def needa study cameras more. Hope my pics aren't too amateurish. :eek:

Btw, I did them about 800 pixels wide but I can do them up to 4,000 pixels wide. What's the best size to use?

800 is fine, we prefer them 800 to 1200 pixels along the long side. You can do wider, but it's really only needed if you have something like a panorama.

I do have a suggestion for you though. If you want some critiques (purely optional!), you'll get the most comments if you post a couple of them here in the forum. People tend to view them in the gallery, but not post many replies.

Great! 800 is easier for me to deal with too. And yeah, I def wanna try for critiques cause that's the only way to learn and get better. When I was little I liked "Oh that's great!" but you can't learn anything like that. But it's def great to have someplace to keep them handy! :)
