About Me

Recovering my interest in taking photos, I purchased a Sony Cyber-shot back in 2006 so that I could have it by my side almost anywhere I might go. Shortly after I took some photos in San Diego and put them on my Mac, a chance view of my desktop showed the koi in such stark reality that I knew then what one of my retirement activities would be - publishing in some way a variety of my photos.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I purchased a Canon Rebel DSLR, and then, so we could each have a DSLR in hand, we purchased me a Nikon D5100 which I am still learning to use.

Since then, I discovered some processing software that allows the user as much creativity as desired - Nik Software plugins for Aperture. One of them - HDREfexPro - allows me to explore the possibilities of High Dynamic Range photography. One example is the photo of Mt Baker on this page.

Other processing software - ON1 Photo RAW 2017, Adobe’s LightRoom - are challenging my learning abilities.

Then, of all things, I purchased an Olympus TG-4 (Tough) easy-to-carry camera.  The photos of ice in our yard were captured with the Tough’s Macro setting.
