Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area!
« on: December 29, 2015, 07:15:07 »

I'm a non-professional photographer in the Bay Area.
My passion is wildlife & nature photography.
Got into photography with a Nikon FE in the early 80's while I lived in Norway.
My favorite places to photograph is the Pacific Northwest and Northern California,
including the wilds of the Bay Area.
 Like the Great Bear if the North, my name is also Bjørn.
Really enjoying this site with more knowledge sharing than anywhere else I've seen.

Hi Bjørn,  I sometimes yearn for the northern coast of California.  I always escaped L.A. by heading for the eastern slope of the Sierras or heading north.   I'm not sure if changing the 'Fierce' to 'Great' is a promotion or demotion in the Bear ranks  ;) .  I sort of think of the Great Bear being up in the Heavens  ;D .  I guess we'll find out which is preferred  :)

Welcome to the site.

Yeah, a typo on that one :-)

Eastern Sierra is fantastic in the fall - great fall colors with the aspen groves.

Greetings and welcome, from an old San Mateo County boy! FE in Norway? I rocked Finmark with my Nikomat Ft-2 about the same time. (Norway had the good sense to keep me out... Something about my reputation preceding me, I guess. Ironic since their govt. invited me. Pity, poor Sweden. I was their favorite idiot!)

Damn, you're about the 20th person on this site named Bjørn. There are times I think that should be the name of this forum and being named Bjørn the only criterium required for acceptance in the club. In any event, welcome to the forum. If you're ever venture to the south and looking for some photographic adventure, pm me.

AltGr + 0248 (windows)

Or failing that select the 'ø' in any suitable signature, controlC to copy, controlV to paste.

Or even better, have these extra letters on your keyboard :D :D

On a mac it is very easy:  option+o = øøøøøøøø
(letter of the alphabet o that is)

Or shift+option+o = ØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØ

Thanks!

I tend to write my name with an 'o', to make it easier on the keyboards :-)
