Created with flickr slideshow.

  

Sometimes it is about letting go,

and other times it's about grabbing the bull by the horns

and taking a risk here or there........putting yourself in to the unknown and having an open mind.

Loved photon graphy since owning my 1st camera , a Pentax K1000;

Learn't a little about light and dark and

DOF . how to bulk load under a blanket.

The magic of watching a photo come alive and trying to decide when to stop.

My next camera was a Nikonas III and that really helped with reading light. The Sekonic light meters back then could be bigger than most compacts of today so they stayed at home alot.

I love the outdoors and photos like Nurse Kato's.

Golf and surf/surfing walking in the woods ,alpine country and coastlines...........a way of life for the priviledged I would say .

G10 .......my first digital camera and I'm blown away by the DOF, the possibilities. hours of joy it brings.
