Hi, new member here from British Columbia, Canada.
After several years of abstinence I have decided to get back into photography. Living in an area of beautiful scenery ( I have attached a few sample photo's) and abundant wildlife I find I miss very much using my old Olympus Om 1n 35mm SLR especially now that I am retired and have lots of spare time. I have just ordered a D5300 with the 18-55 and 55-200 lenses which should arrive early next week. I have some basic knowledge of the principles of photography and the use of SLR cameras but I think the DSLR is a beast of a different colour and will provide me with many challenges. I'm hoping that this forum will provide some of the answers and stimulate me to go further in this fascinating hobby.
