I have been photographing since high school (too many moons ago...). I got interested in HDR a few years ago and really like it. It is so flexible. And I like Topaz, ON1, and my favorite, Photomatix (which is made for HDR). I also enjoy macro and monochrome. I belong to the Wisconsin PSA Chapter and also a local camera club here in the Milwaukee area.

Just moved to Meridian Idaho in 2021. Started shotting photos in high school. My mother gave me an Argus C3. My first 35mm I bought was a Mamiya Sekor DTL1000. Had a B&W darkroom. Retired last year and joined a couple of photo clubs. I couldn't believe how much I had forgotten or didn't know. Currently doing a lot of studying, and groups like this to help me improve my skills. Currently shooting Nikon D700 and D750. Various zoom and fixed Lense, mostly F2.8.

I picked up my first SLR camera as a teenager and immediately fell in love with taking pictures. After working with film (mostly black and white) for a number of years, I took a long break, but over the past few years, have rediscovered this passion of my youth, now in the context of digital photography, with its many possibilities and challenges. For me, photography is not only about attempting to create beautiful and inspiring images, it is also a journey of discovery, of striving to find my artistic voice.
I am a retired math instructor living in Victoria on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada. I am an active member of the Victoria Camera Club where I have been inspired and mentored by a number of outstanding photographers. I shoot with a Nikon D750 but also love my little Fujifilm X-T10 for travelling. I am a big fan of post-processing and often work with a combination of Lightroom, Photoshop and Nik Color Efex and Silver Efex.

I live in Cork, Ireland. I am 72 years of age. I have family in Australia and Barcelona, Spain. I bought my first DSLR in 2019. I now shoot with Canon R6 and R7 for travel and wildlife. I am not focussed on any particular genre as I enjoy all aspects of photography. I recently purchased a DJI Mini 4Pro. I use it for landscape shots which are difficult to reach from the ground… still learning how to use it safely.

I think of myself as a visual learner. Rich, evocative imagery is essential for comprehension.
Descriptions of scenes, and characters by an author are a requisite of a "good" story; I must see them in my mind's eye.
For me, photography was inevitable.

When I retired from being a school district administrator, I told a good friend that I wanted to take up photography when I retired. As a retirement gift, she gave me my first year's membership in the St. Louis Camera Club. That is when my new passion began. I found the people talented, friendly and so willing to share their knowledge with a beginner like me. I was both inspired and hooked. I had taken art classes my freshman year in college with thoughts of a career in art. However, I turned to education and had a very rewarding career. With photography, I found that I could develop my artistic side while also learning new technical skills. I love that photography keeps me learning and that my initial captures can turn into art in any number of different ways. There is always something new to learn. At the same time I joined the St. Louis Camera Club, I also joined PSA. I have taken advantage of the many opportunities to grow in the art of photography. I participate in two PID Digital Study Groups: Fine Art and General, where I am the secretary; as well as three PID Digital Dialogue Groups: General, Monochrome and Macro. I love the feedback I receive and often submit my images to these groups prior to placing them in competition.
