I bought myself an early Christmas present in early December, a D3500. I'm enjoying the new camera, learning about it as I use it. My previous camera was a Fuji S7000. Before that I had a Nikkormat, which I bought in 1970.
I take pictures purely for my own enjoyment. I will never publish my images, will never come close to a professional status. I take pictures of things I like, things I find interesting, things I'd like to remember. I share some on FaceBook, but that's about as far as I go.
I'll be asking questions occasionally, as I need to. I have just posted one in another part of the forum.
I'll add an image here, one which I took 1 January 2019 at Wilder Ranch State Park, California.
