Greetings. I've just joined your very fine site. I began formal photography in the USAF in 1962 where the first cameras we used were 8x10 view cameras that dated from WWI and with ortho film. Later we used 4x5 Speed Graphics. In my own 35mm use I bought a Pentax SV, a Leica M2, and Pentax A3000. My first digital was a 4MP Oly E-10. Now I use a Pentax K10D and K20D with some new and old Pentax lenses. I do mostly landscape and wildlife photography and most of that in Yellowstone. So far I have only posted my images on several photography sites and I do have one image in the Pentax Photo Gallery. I look forward to exchanging views with you and of course I'm still learning to make better images.

Hello Steve, and welcome to the NPN site. If you were in the USAF in 1962 you beat Preston Birdwell & myself by 4 years. We both started in 1966 & got out in 1970. Enjoy the site and the various forums as well. :wavey:

Hi, Steve, welcome to NPN. Yellowstone still impresses me to this day, even though my trip was many years ago. So I hope you'll start posting right away! :smile:

Welcome, Bro! My first visit to Jellystone was in 1962, when folks would feed the bears from their cars, then wonder why the bears pillaged their campsites. If I took any photos then, it prolly was with dad's WWII Bantam f/4.5. :cool:
