Hello, Canon users and enthusiasts. I'm eager to introduce myself.
As I ease toward retirement very gradually, I'm embracing photography and enjoying somewhat of a return to it. Years ago, in 1985 to be exact, I received a Canon T70 as a high school graduation gift. I took a photography class in college, took photos as a newspaper reporter for a couple years, and edited newspaper photos for more years after that. Then point-and-shoot cameras and iPhones came along, and my Canon SLR sat unused. I don't even know where it is or what happened to it!
Six weeks ago, I purchased an R10 with its little 18-45 kit lens. Then I got the 55-210. And from there, I was hooked. I've added an R6, lenses including 24-70 and 70-200 both f/2.8, and am generally relearning a lot of things and learning a ton new things -- particularly about digital photography and editing with Lightroom.
My interests include landscapes, city/urban, and travel ... all of which I was doing with an iPhone. I've always wanted to try sports photography, so I've shot a couple small-college events and one high school event so far and want to do more -- maybe for MaxPreps or something similar.
Anyway, I'm glad to be here. Here are three shots from the last six weeks. The goose is from yesterday.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the forum here.
For now, I'm pretty happy with my R6 and R10. I'm packing the R10 for some travel beginning today.
