At John's prompt I am introducing myself with a little background. I first started taking pictures when I got a Brownie for christmas at the seasoned age of 6. My grandmother said she would pay for the film developing. The nearby general store had a special that allowed for free film rolls, and you just paid for the developing. I grabbed a handful. First week I had eight rolls film at the developers. My grandmother adjusted her offer to just one roll a week immediately!
I have a studio out in the country behind the house. I do all kinds of portrait work. Lots of horse portraits out here. Just completed a Valentines dance for the school.
I am also working on a book on a nearby reservoir. Wildlife oriented, with a little local history thrown in. Do a lot of flower imaging too. In landscapes sunsets are my favorite. I was born in Panama City Florida and could prolly fill a 2GB card every day with marine images.
I own a Nikon D2x, D300, Fuji S5 pro, and P5000 along with a Canon 40D. My studio camera is a Sony R-1. I have compared about ten cameras to the R-1 for image quality, with NONE surpassing it. That Zeiss lens rocks.
I don't claim to be an expert at anything. I was in the construction business for 40 years. I was successful because I was passionate about it. I am the same way about photography. If I wasn't retired, I don't know if the photography business would support me or not............... yet.
I know a good idea when I steal it. All suggestions welcome.
Thank you
