I have just started to get serious about photgraphy, though I started shooting w/ a Canon Rebel 35 mm (which I had for years) I stepped up to digital about 5 years ago. Just purchased a Nikon Coolpix P510 & a Canon T3i w/ Tamron 200-500mm lens. I would really like to get to the point that I may be able to publish my work &/or become a pro. (Got to have dreams) Blessings, Sonja
