I was inspired to write this verse from this photo taken at the start of summer 2012,

 

 

If you are walking along nature's path,

Bend down, look at my beauty,

I am here only for a very short time,

I am here for you and all to see,

I am alive and what life is all about,

The little things that make,

Your moment bright and memorable.

 

Orka Korak, my first Flickr poem

My name is Orka Korak aka Paul.

The Orca Whale is my favorite sea creature. Hence my pseudonym Orka. I used the Slavic spelling of the whale. Korak is Slavic for step. The step signifies my entry into photography. A whale of a step!

 

I have been shooting film photography as a hobby since my late teens. I loved shooting with 120 film because It produced 1" negatives.

My first digital camera was purchased in 2003. It was the Canon PowerShot A300, a 3.2 mega pixel camera. It produced superb photos for its time.

I credit the A300 for getting me into serious photography because I could correct my mistakes on the spot, unlike film pricy film photography.

I used many types of cameras since; Fujifilm, Olympus, Samsung, to name a few, but always love the Canon products the most.

I got into serious digital photographer in 2007 when I acquired the Canon EOS T1i aka 500D.

I quickly found the limits of the T1i and got the rapid-fire Canon 7D (8 frames per second).

I continued to upgrade to what I use today, the full frame Canon 6D. This is truly an amazing camera for its price.

My shooting techniques have greatly improved over the years with the acquisition of many expensive lenses.

Technique is very important and so is the equipment.

A recommendation to all up-and-coming photographers, buy the best camera and lenses that you can afford upfront.

 

I joined Flickr on February 2009 and still love every moment of it.

 

I enjoy all the unique and creative work found on Flickr..
