I'm an active "mid-level" photographer, interested primarily in outdoors photography - landscapes, wildlife, flora and some sports. Many years ago I pursued photography as a career but eventually left the business to work in corporate finance. I came back as a hobbyist about 20 years ago and since I retired it has become my primary "go to"activity. I work both digitally (Nikon D750) and medium format film (Hasselblad 500C) using Photoshop and Topaz tools. I'm active in the local camera club and I enjoy seeing other photographer's work and showing mine in an atmosphere of constructive criticism.

I consider myself an intermediate level photographer. If it moves or if it doesn't I shoot it. I especially like to photograph birds and wildlife as well as cityscapes and landscapes. I am currently using Nikon Z9 and D500 cameras. I have an assortment of lenses from 15mm fisheye to a 150 to 600 telephoto.
I am active in several local camera clubs as well as teaching a photography course at Northwestern Universities adult continuing education class.
I primarily use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing and play with Nik, DXO, Topaz and Luminar software.

I have been fascinated with photography since childhood. As a boy, I watched my older brother, John, create images in a makeshift darkroom, our bathroom. During my first year of college at the University of Pennsylvania, I bought a Pentax K500 single-lens reflex camera and started shooting. In 1974, I attended a course at C.J. Pressma’s Center for Photographic Studies in Louisville, and that’s when I got excited about photography. Back at school, I joined the staff of The Daily Pennsylvanian and eventually became one of the photo editors. Many a night was spent in the DP darkroom.
For many years, other goals and challenges kept me away from photography. I attended law school at the University of Louisville, pursued a career as a lawyer, served as President of The Temple, and was a father to a growing family of five children. My keen interest in photography, however, has persisted though these major life events.

Photography is connection. With myself, with others, with nature and the infinite possibilities of the human experience. Photographing animals in their habitat shows life as it is. It combines my passion for adventures, nature and behavior. I look for movement and portraits of animals, as if they were in a natural studio. Through photography, I shape my artist soul, curiosity and the search for knowledge and my adventurous spirit.

I'm 53 and live in Southern California, married to a retired trucker so he drives and I take pictures along the way. I was medically retired from the US Army in 2009. My interest in photography has blossomed since it is an excuse for something to keep me active on our trips to escape the heat in the summer. On our trips I also write a blog about how even if a person has something holding them back they can still travel and enjoy nature. I have been dealing with multiple sclerosis for over 10 years. I use a canon 80D and have mostly focused on nature photography this past year my husband has helped stretch my horizons with framing and composing landscapes. I am looking forward to sharing and learning from the group.

Hi, I'm born and brought up in Kerala, India, popularly known as God's own country! A structural engineer by profession and a photographer by passion. After my post graduation in structural engineering I worked in India, Malaysia , UAE and now for the last 15 years working in Qatar.
I started my photography journey with a borrowed Yashica Point & Shoot film Camera just to capture the moments and document the places that I used to travel. Although during the early few years of mine, neither I knew nor I paid attention to artistic perspectives such as composition and light, thus, wasted many years of my life just clicking generic documentary shots. However, as I came in contact with a few eminent photographers across the world through social media and photography portals such as Flickr, 500px, I was amazed by the images they have created. That spiked an ignition within me to learn how can I too create such images. I started joining local workshops and watching YouTube videos to nurture myself and finally to calm down and think through the composition and various angles before pressing the shutter while on spot. I am more into wildlife though I like other streams too such as astro and street photography.
During this journey of mine, I gradually upgraded my gears from Nikon D40x to D500 and finally D4. Mirrorless camera will be the ultimate aim. However I am fully satisfied with my current gears.
