lens eye view

Since Christmas 2005 I have been having fun in the world of digital photography. That is when my wife gave me my first digital point and shoot camera, a Sony DSC-H1. Of the 15 or 20 thousand photos sitting on my hard drive right now, about half of those were taken with this camera. I have since acquired a Sony Alpha 100 DSLR. I still use the DSC-H1 as a backup as well as utilizing it's movie mode from time to time.

My favorite subjects to photograph are flowers, butterflies, deer, my pets, or anything else that captures my eye when I have a camera in my hand. I will very likely shoot a 100 photos of a flower with the intent to get 3 or 4 really outstanding photographs and ditch the rest. That is what digital photography allows us to do.

When someone looks at one of my photographs and all they can say is "wow" then I will know I have achieved my goal of taking the "money shot". Thus far, I am still pushing the shutter button looking for the "money shot".

If you take a peek at my photos on flickr, let me say in advance, thank you. I know your time is valuable and I would be honored if you take a look. If you leave a comment, even better.
