Hi, my name is Pat and I live in North East Ohio. The only place in the country that gets less days of sunshine than the Pacific Northwest. Anyway, have been interested in photography for about 16 years. I started out with a Pentax point and shoot, the first one that would take pictures in both panoramic and regular size. Needless to say, this was a film camera. I then got my first SLR a Nikon N70, which takes great pictures, finally progressed to a Pentax digital point and shoot. I just recently, like this past week got my first digital SLR, a Nikon D5000. I hope I can get some tips here on this forum.

I enjoy taking pictures of the outdoors, and just being outdoors. Take a lot of pictures of my dogs, Maala and Bruce too. So, I hope to get to know some of you here and I am sure I will get to see some great pictures. I always enjoy seeing what someone else has done and learning how they did it.
