  I retired a year ago and decided to take up photography as a hobby to occupy some time. I also teach a Scottish Country dance class, (until recently). I have been interested in photography for quite a while and even took a course, but life got in the way and it took a back seat.

  I think we have all been given a bit of time for photography lately! 😉

    Thank you, as I stated, I am just getting back to photography after 40 years. Back then I didn’t have to edit my own pictures. I am hoping for help in this part of the workflow now as well.

      Were you trained in a traditional darkroom, @jc8324?

  Hi John, welcome to the wonderful world of pixels 🙂 . I find life gets in the way a lot lately when it comes to photography. Good time to get the macros lens out perhaps and explore the backyard?
  
  Interesting statues and even more interesting location for them. Keep em coming.

    This photo was taken with my Galaxy S10 smartphone. We were in Pentiction B.C. over the Thanksgiving weekend last year and visited the beach. This is Lake Okanogan.

  Welcome aboard John. Have recently retired myself. I took a much shorter break from photography of just 25 years. Picked it up again about five years ago. I’m so glad I did. Editing images at my computer instead of a darkroom was a pretty steep learning curve for me. I’m still learning. This is a great place to find help and inspiration.

    Thanks Dave, I am hoping for some critique of pictures I post, some JPG some RAW and if I can get comfortable with it, some edited.

  Hi there @jc8324, welcome aboard, and there is no late time for embracing photography. That’s a really interesting shot the one you posted in the introductory thread, can you tell us more about it?
