Hello from Illinois!

Hello everyone! So glad this forum exists! Just wanted to stop in here and intro myself. I am a natural light photographer the majority of the time. I have a Pentax K7 and 2 lens so far. I've been using this since April 2010. Looking into a new lens very soon! I mostly take photos of people and our dogs but from time to time take some other shots as well. So basically I love portraits the most. Will post some of my photos soon.

I am also a graphic artist and have been doing that since 1998 and most of my work consists of digital scrapbook products, just started doing products for photographer resources (commercial use items) and many years ago created graphics for online craft shops of all sorts. I use Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Photo Pro X3. Just started using the trial version of Lightroom.

Welcome!
Lightroom is great software. At least if you grow up in a darkroom, the controls comes very natural.
