Collecting Canada, US, UK, Ireland, Germany, France & Austria. Also collecting some classic era stamps of some British Commonwealth Island countries and topicals like WW2, Capt. Cook, Horatio Nelson.
I've been trying to do some stamp photography this evening to illustrate the difference between real and counterfeit GB 2014 1st class Royal Mail Red Machin definitives (that's a bit of a mouthful, explains why they invented catalogue numbers!). I've been admiring some of the uploaded photos on the forum - I have a lot to learn. I'm afraid I don't have any on a site to link to at present, another thing to figure out.
Thanks again for your warm welcomes.
Gerard

I've opened a tinypic account and uploaded an image I'm working on. (I hope I've followed the rules OK). The only real stamp in this picture is the top left one.

Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the rules of our forums which can be found here. Also once you have hit a post count of 50 you can begin using the PM system to message fellow members as well as use the marketplace where you can buy, sell and trade stamps. Guidelines for the marketplace are here.
Should you have any questions or issues please feel free to PM one of the Admins or Mods (you can PM them any time after you join... no need for the 50 posts for them) and we will be sure to get back to you when we are able.
Should you have any difficulty while posting here our How-to section located here may be of some assistance.
Once again welcome to Stamp Bears and we all look forward to hearing more about you and your collections.
