I first became interested in photography in high school some 30 years ago, although I primarily only took “snap-shots” until the late 90's when I started getting serious about my photography. I also made a career change at about the same time which allowed me more freedom to travel and to pursue my interest in scenic photography. Working in the Industrial construction field allows me to travel to spots that I would like to photograph and also the time off between jobs to do so.
In the middle 70’s I bought my first 35mm SLR camera, a Canon Ftb which was fully manual. I have had at least 7 Canon bodies since that time and currently use the Canon 1D Mark IIn digital body with the 40D camera as a back-up. I find the digital cameras to be enormously fun and informative to shoot with and the instantaneous display is very gratifying as well.
Primarily my subjects were macros and landscapes but as my photography skills progressed I found myself shooting more and more avian subjects and now find that approximately 75% of my photography involves birds.
My newest images can be found on www.naturescapes.net or www.photomigrations.com, both are online nature websites where the photography is awe inspiring and the image critiques have helped my photography tremendously!
