Hello Nice People

[Dean Wilson]

Greetings from somewhere on the West Coast of the United States.
I picked by my first camera...Kodak Brownie 127 (style?)....about 1966ish and I fell in love with photography as funds allowed. I ran through the gambit of 126 Instamatic and 110 pocket cameras before picking my my first SLR in 1976 a Minolta SR-T201. I recently began using it again shooting Ilford Delta 3200 Pro.
My first DSLR was a Canon Rebel T3 with two popular the kit lenses back in 2015. A couple years ago I picked up the EOS R and a 24-70mm f/2.8 L and soon followed by the 70-200mm f/2.8 L and a 15-35mm f/2.8 L a year later. One year ago I picked up the R5 and 100-500mm L. I discovered "L" signifies "Lots", as in Lots of Money. I am a hobbyist and I am learning and love to see what I can do with a camera and what I cannot.
This photo is a four shot panorama of "The Pillar of Rome" in southeast Oregon with my R5 and 24-70mm f/2.8

• Canon EOS R5

Nice panorama and Welcome to the group, Dean. Looking forward to seeing more. This looks like a very interesting place to explore.

Nice shot Dean, the choice of black and white works well with the image. Not sure what it looks like in color as I haven't visited the area. Now I'll try and get there on one of our travels. Welcome to the group!!!!

Thank you micheric. It was my first visit while visiting the Steens Wilderness Area and Alvord desert.
I was waiting got Golden Hour, however with heavy wildfire smoke on the western horizon and 104° F I knew the colors would remain quite bland in the rock structure and sky.
