Welcome and Thanks for Stopping By...
I started taking pictures as a hobby several years ago with a Canon Rebel 35 mm camera with the basic 35 - 80 mm kit lens and really no knowledge of what I was doing. I did, like a lot of people, two shots of everything hoping to get one good one, and then waited a week for developement to see if any were worth keeping.
Digital cameras certainly made things a lot easier. About four years ago I purchased a Panasonic Digital LC43 point and shoot camera and was very happy with the results in my transition to digital. After a while I started to want more creativity in my shots such as control over the shutter speed and exposure times and above all , the ability to change lenses. That led me to purchase the camera I use now, which is a Canon Digital Rebel XTI with a 17 - 85 mm IS lens. A little while later I added a Canon 100 mm f2.8 Macro lens and a set of KENKO Extension tubes as well as a B + W 0.9 ND Filter. I can now do Macro Photo's as well as long shutter speed shots with the filter. I enjoy mostly Nature photoghraphy and Macro shots as well as Photo Manipulation.
Thanks again for visiting and I hope you enjoy the pictures.
