Welcome to a new Arizona photographer!
Larry, you are in one of the best locations on the planet. We're looking forward to your work. Look around. We have entry level to digital forum to get help, rellax in Layback Cafe or post for critique or even to get processing, retouching or repairing insights by using the very specific fora with moderators ready to guide the discussions.
Good luck Larry and enjoy OPF!
Asher
