I do apologize for the short introduction.

I am fairly new to digital SLR photography. I have always loved taking photos, mostly nature and wildlife, but I am now taking a try at portraits.

Any help along the way would be greatly appreciated.

Yes and No. I use to carry a .357 about 15 years ago.(LEO)

I have been shooting with the Sigma SD-14 & SA-7n. I just purchased the Pentax K-X with a DA L 18-55mm & Pentax smc P-DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED Zoom Lens.

I really hope to learn much from all of you, so I give you much Thanks in advance.

Hello.
