Ventured into this section...
 

I posted this yesterday in the &quot;Newbie&quot; section and I think it needs to go here for those who enjoy the great outdoors as much as I do. Perhaps a mod will delete my original post.</p>

<p>Almost two weeks with my new lens and I just can't stop clicking! <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif" border="0" alt="" title="LOL" smilieid="25" class="inlineimg" /> I went from a point and shoot to an DSLR in May so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about my camera, the settings, etc. There's so much information that my head is spinning! I found a really good site that helped me with the settings for birds and other wildlife. I've also learned so much from this forum over the last few weeks! Thanks everyone! <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbyo.gif" border="0" alt="" title="thumb yo" smilieid="110" class="inlineimg" /></p>

<p>I visited Lake Carlyle yesterday in Illinois. I was just passing through and ended up spending the entire day there. I've never seen such a large variety of wildlife in one location. I'm planning on traveling back later this month, but this time I'll be staying a few days. I can't wait! </p>

<p>A couple of my favorites from the day!</p>
