I'm definitely an amateur photographer who is simply having fun with it. I bought a Panasonic, DMC-FZ18 last year because I wanted a large zoom, but lightweight camera for our trip to Yellowstone National Park. My husband and I have visited National Parks on vacation the past few years and look forward to seeing more. I'm just now learning what Flicker can do and how to use it. And I have a lot to learn about photography, but it sure is fun!
