Jeebus!
Zoom is against the rules ? Here in Florida many Ospreys' have lost some of their natural fear of humans. This one was in a tree about 30 feet above me and just sat there posing for me

While the competion will be stiff they have weekly and monthly assignments. They also used to, and may still, give a prize to first place (it used to be add-ons for Photoshop but that may have changed). There are a lot of very gifted photographers there from very skilled pros to total noobs with their first digital camera and they all share tips and critique each others work (constructively). If you are serious about improving your chops there probably isn’t a better place outside of a school.

I learned a huge portion of what I know about photography there.
Give some serious thought to joing their forum.
I'm sure I will but Okie suggested that since we all share a couple of common interests (camaros and photography) it might be fun to start one here.

Time is precious and I'm afraid if I join fredmiranda I'll end up spending more time there than here. Not sure if I am ready to go that route just yet

But as you said everyone from noobs to pros use that site so I'm sure it's worth some time for me.

What processing software do you all like the most. When I purchased my dslr last fall I decided it was high time to start. I couldn't make up my mind so I found GIMP and am using that.

I have a nikkon and I guess it's time to find a plugin to read NEF files. I'm considering Nikons capture NX program.

Any thoughts?
