    Hi from Cumbria

    Hi, I've just signed up to the Forum. I'm retired and live in South Cumbria. My main interest is bird and wildlife photography but also attempt other genres. I've been extremely impressed by the quality of photographs I've seen on the Forum and hope that ultimately I'll be able to reach that standard.

    I use a 70D and a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, and also have a 500D and kit lenses.

    Thought I'd try and load a pic from Flickr here to test it:

    Yes, successful as it is showing and a cracking shot, Welcome to the forums Ian from another Cumbrian, sadly living down south in the Midlands for my sins. Originate from just north of Carlisle, so the other end from you in what was Cumberland... I take it you are in what was Westmorland?

    Hope to see the off picture from you to make me homesick

      Cheers Tony. I'm originally from Teesside, moved here nearly 6 years ago when I retired after living in various places in the UK and Middle East. Living not far from J36 on the M6, yes it used to be Westmorland here.

              Welcome Ian from one Wilkie to another.
              I holiday for 5 days every year in Keswick and there's always a Muscovy duck there. Weird looking things.
