Hello from South Shields

Hi, just wanted to introduce my self to the forum. I am a newbie photographer who is trying to improve - probably faster than my talent will allow!

After photographing so many birds, I find that my interest in them is increasing and I am at the point now that I would like to know what I am photographing before returning home and looking it up.

I work offshore in Gabon, West Africa on a 28/28 schedule so should have plenty time to maintain my two linked hobbies when home.

I hope to bump into some of the North East of England members on my travels.

Paul.

Hi Paul and a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Staff and Moderators.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here. I'll look forward to reading about what you see when out and about and will hopefully see some of your pictures in the Gallery too.
