Really looking forward to the increased detail... f/stop settings, and
Underwater (!) We have streams and waterfalls where we live!




Photography Background:

At 9 I started with a Kodak box camera....I don't know if I have that scrapbook anymore?


At 14 I got to borrow my dad's Minolta SRT-101 SLR
at (prep) school. Shot, developed & printed B&W for three years in a vibrant camera club..


All my best work was on exhibition on graduation day....

Went to pick them up, every picture had been stolen...
including four (expensive) 16x20s

Beyond upset, I quit taking pictures for several years.

In College did a short collaborative film with my SO,
(filmed in Friendly's w/out permission! ) Soundtrack
(from miced stereo) Was Traffic: "Glad" & KC & Sunshine Band's
"That's the way" to video of S.O eating ice cream cone inside the establishment...

Used an old Instamatic in the 80's-90's,

then was given a Kodak 1.6MP digital camera by a computer client of mine...
(a lot of the flower pics were taken with this camera)


In 2006 I had a little money, and
bought my L4...new about $129... So 18 years with my first Nikon.

RTFM in advance is what I'm doing..
