Cool! This will be a great thread.

Salmon Return to Pacific NW
It's the middle of September, when the Coho salmon start migrating from the Pacific Ocean to Puget Sound, and through the many lakes to rivers and creeks. These pictures were taken in 2006, but the scene is the same every year.

Nice wildlife shots! One BIL (the smart one) is president of a local chapter of the American Truck Historical Society and I took some photos at a small show in Winchester, VA last year. This year's show is the end of this month. The effort these guys make to keep old trucks running is impressive. Some can't have just one.

I'm still learning, but here's one I shot yesterday before I learned that auto focus is much better than focus on my own

Snapped this photo a couple of weeks ago while doing some light hiking in the East Bay Redwood Regional Park. Used a Sony Cybershot.

These are really good. I am thinking of taking up the hobby, I would find it very interesting and helpful if you could post the following along with your photos if it is not too much to ask.
1) Camera type (E.g: Canon 7D)
2) Lens type & "F" number (28-105 IS Canon)
3) Flash or not
I do not want to disrupt the thread but do not know if it is appropriate to discus preferred equipment, but that would be helpful for us wannabees.

FWIW, I use an Olympus PL-5 and shot with the 45mm f/1.8 prime lens (90mm in traditional 35mm terms.)
