Novice here, captivated by birds and birds in flight. I also like nature, wildlife and outdoor photography. There is a lot to learn at once, not counting practice time, including photography, digital photography, individual cameras and gear, birding, fieldcraft, shooting technique, post-processing software and more. I'll be lurking and learning, I suspect, long before I become an active contributor. Thanks in advance for your willingness to share your experience with others such as me.
