Bob Legg
Bob, in 2023, has moved back to NH. Bob has been a member of the Manchester NH Camera Club for 40 years and served over 20 years as its President. He started photography as part of a college design course in the 60's. His first digital camera was the Nikon Coolpix 995 in 2001 and has moved forward with Nikon Cameras to the present D780. He's always been a non-conformist and started using "Mac" computers in 1996 and never tempted to go the PC route. He uses Lightroom Classic & Photoshop as well as Topaz Studio for his Creative & Abstract images. Bob has always shot landscape, nature, flowers and many Photojournalism images while serving as small NH town fire department photographer.
Since the pandemic Bob has almost exclusively shot local landscapes and flowers, but not just regular flowers, as most have taken on a Creative/Impressionistic or Abstract look. Bob likes Great compositions, Vivid colors and images with IMPACT.

Holding three stars in PSA-EID, I am currently working on my fourth star. In August, 2012, I completed the PSA Image Analysis Course. I also judge competitions in CACCA (Chicago Area Camera Club Assoc.) and have been shooting for as long as I can remember . My main camera is a Canon 80D with a Canon SX-50 as a backup. In addition to PSA, I belong to NAPP (now Kelby One) and Photoshop, Lightroom, Topaz and OnOne Perfect Suite are my primary image processing softwares. I shoot mostly in RAW and enjoy scenics, abstracts and HDR.

I live on a beautiful island called Tasmania, a state of Australia, situated on the Tasman Sea.
Some of our famous exports are the Looney cartoon character "Tasmanian Devil" and of
course Errol Flynn.
Although I took family photos with my Nikkormat film camera, I never really took
photography seriously.
On our first trip overseas, I bought a canon point and shoot and was hooked from that
moment. That was 2009. Not long after I bought my entry level DSLR canon camera. My
progression has led me to the challenges of trying different genres of photography.
I enjoy being part of a camera club and that personal contact with like-minded people who
share an interest in photography. I have taken on many roles on the committee including
Secretary and President. I’m currently the President of the Tasmanian Photographic
Federation, a peak body with affiliated camera clubs.
In 2016, I came across Brooke Shaden photography and was inspired by her creative work
and so this led me to try compositing. I enjoy the creative process and always looking at
ways of telling some sort of a story; one that you would not normally be able to do with a
single photo. The story part of my composites is what motivates me to take images that can
be used to capture a person’s imagination.

For the first 62 years of my life, I was a professional cellist and teacher. I taught elementary strings in Fairfax County, VA for about 36 years. Upon retiring in 2010, my wife, who has always been interested in photography, urged me to begin shooting for real. I had only had point & shoots until then. Thus began my journey in photography. If you would like to see more of my (and my wife's) work, go to TimePointsPhotography.com. You should not miss my wife's photographic reinterpretation of Dutch still lifes (the button is on the home page).

After retiring in 2009, from a career as a Senior Vice President with Morgan Stanley, I have devoted myself to improving my skills as a digital fine art photographer. I am active in my local photography club, exhibit locally, and have had success in many local photography competitions, including a grand prize in the 2020 NANPA Nature Day Photography competition. I consider myself to be an avid amateur photographer and look forward to continuing to improve my skills.

I’m retired at this point but just as active as when I was working as the director of Community Services for the City of Palo Alto in California. Presently I’m a commissioner on the San Jose Arts Commission, play lots of golf and snooker, and babysit three incredible grandkids. I’m also married to a very forgiving and lovely wife (for 43 years!). My photographic adventure began as a teen when my grandmother bought me a Mamiya Sekor dslr and with its help I became my high school photographer. I’m currently president of my local camera club and, as such, enter numerous competitions at the local and state level, especially with my macro and flower work. I love to learn and photography is a never-ending classroom.
