[Leica] RE: My First Photo to Share

[jim.christie at sbcglobal.net (Jim Christie)]

First of all, thanks to Adam and Doug for your suggestions and encouragement
regarding where to find Eagles and other birds. I hope I can do something as
good as yours.

I guess I should inform the group that I am new to LUG. I have offered a
comment or two in the last couple of weeks, but I have not shared any of my
own photos. Also, I've not told you much about myself. Since most of you
seem to have known one another for awhile, it looks like it makes it easier
for you to share your comments about subject matters. Therefore, here is a
little about me.

I live in Walnut Creek, California and have for many years. For those who
don't know where this is, we are about 30 east of San Francisco in what they
call the East Bay. I am a retired banker and certainly not anywhere close to
a professional photographer. I just enjoy photography - all aspects of it. I
own a lot of Leica gear (both R and M). I also own an Olympus E-1 and seem
to be using it most of the time now. And, why I still own it I don't know,
but I also own a Hasselblad 503x (I guess I'm sentimental and hate to think
about getting rid of it). I also have my name on the list for the R digital
module back, but keep wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Well, that was
probably far more than you ever wanted to know about me, but - - - -.

So now, I have finally built up the courage to share my first photo with
you. Hope you like it. By the way, this is the mountain (the right hand
summit) they have been talking about riding their bikes up (very slowly) and
down (very fast).

Thanks for letting me participate in LUG and I truly do enjoy viewing all of
your wonderful photos and learning more about photography!  -  Jim
