New guy from Pennsylvania

[Tim Murphy]

Hello,

Just a short introduction. My name is same as my screen name, creative I'm not. I live in Pennsylvania and enjoy photographing birds and wildlife and the landscapes in which they reside.

I always had an interest in photography but it waned during the changeover from film to digital. A friend gave me his Olympus C-2020 back in 2005 or so and I got my interest back.

Since then I have used DSLR's from several manufacturers. I still own all of them too, along with a ton of old film cameras and lenses. But about a year ago I bought an E-PL2 used and added a couple of adapters to use older 35mm lenses and enjoyed the results so progressed with Olympus M4/3rds gear to the point where I have built a fairly good system.

My goals here are learn more about the capabilities of the M4/3rds camera and to gain inspiration to further my pursuits of photographing nature, birds, and wildlife.

Regards,

Tim Murphy

Welcome Tim
One thing here you won't get here what that lovely bird you photographed so nicely does so well - peck holes in everything.
I'm relatively new and have not encountered a peck here ?
Keep posting.

The peckers are usually put in their place by the mods

Dear Apollo,

Thank you, and everyone else for the welcome. I look forward to reading and learning, and will definitely post pictures on occasion.

I'm just glad to be part of a group where I can maintain my status quo as one of "the rest of us."

This is the best photography forum. Period. I can talk to people here without fear of getting attacked. No time for fights anymore. Mu-43 remains my sole photography forum where I interact.
