Saved by Grace, Baptist, Nov 16, 2008

Focused on Nature as in birds, animals, landscapes . . but certainly willing to learn and adapt to whatever the Lord may bring me to. Received a Cochlear Implant Feb 2015 .. I can hear again Praise God .. so much easier to talk to OR 'listen for' would be models.

Cameras I've used : Konica-Minolta Dimage Z3, Kodak C190, Kodak Easyshare Z981, Canon SX40hs, Sony SLT-A35, Sony SLT-A57, Pentax K-30, Sony NEX-3NL, Sony HX400V, Sony SLT-A77(current main camera) and my Newest Wonder Sony RX100M3 ... Other Hobby "Amateur Radio, Extra Class call is NJ1T ..

I'm getting a desire to add 'humans' to my portfolio, faces, poses but still sticking to outdoors and natural light as much as possible.

At 68 it's a real blessing to find a ' forever new' passion in life and I am very grateful for all who stop by to view and especially comment. Thank you so very much.

. . MORE:

ALL of my photos go right to lightroom as soon as I plug in the memory card . . I'm using LR #5 . . MOST of my photos are 'at least' cropped and with the huge battery of 'tools' available in LR it is always my joy to play with various fx and settings . . my goal is to KEEP IT REAL or CALL IT ART . . so I do mostly 'ART' ... also use Photoshop.

Greatest use of LR being lightening or darkening and sharpening the photos. Very few of my photos go straight from RAW to Flickr 'most' of my work is now shot in RAW format then processed in

Adobe LightRoom 5.

Even as we grow in skill and appreciation for our Art . . the use of software in 'Post' processing becomes greater as the skill level and familiarity with those tools increases. I am not willing to limit myself but I do want to be honest about my work and art.

. . Cheers!
