10+ years D50, D700 and now Z6. You sir are an inspiration and I appreciate the accessibility to quality information your channel offers. I feel like my skills have plateaued at various times but in the last 2 years I have shown the most improvement!

Started 10+ years ago but unfortunately through life events, it took a backseat and I rarely photographed anything the past 8 years or so. Just picked it back up again a few months back and I'm more invested than ever. So glad I am back into it.

off/on most of my adult life as a hobby but the last 1-2 years I've been taking it a bit more serious. Went on my first workshop in Colorado 2 months ago and am planning a workshop in the Dolomites next October. Hoping for a workshop in North Carolina! Great video with some good ideas to consider and incorporate. Thanks

I started in February 2022. So I've been shooting almost every day for 9 mo now. I wanna make it a living

Hey Mark, I guess I'm sitting about 33 years in. I fell in love with photography in the summer of '89 when I saw photos appear in the darkroom. I often still feel like a beginner and know that as much as I'm learning and growing, I still have a long ways to go. I have a broad range of experience, but that doesn't always equate expertise, so I'm still working on that.

My real journey started about 3-4 years ago after taking so-so snapshots for >40 years. This thought-provoking video parallels your recent keynote at Out of Oregon. Thanks for both!

Great stuff, Mark! Your videos and encouragement have nudged me more and more this year into smaller scenes and abstracts. I'm starting to see some good results from getting out of my comfort zone. Thanks!

About sesven years, Mark! This may be the most worthwhile video ever - instead of focusing on a particular POV or technique, this shows that at any given moment or where we are in our development we have the opportunity to come up with a great creative image, so encouraging ~ Thanks!

3-4 years - you are the first landscape photographer I started learning from on KZread. Thank you for all your work.

It is nice when you elaborate on the possibilities of landscape photography like this so that everybody can see that it is not just photographing nature and vistas. I hope more people will come to this photography genre because we have many things to photograph and our planet has so much to offer. Very good video Mark! Oh, and I am in the 5-6 years range :)

Thank you for the videos Mark. I picked up photography a little over 2 years ago. Your videos have been super beneficial. I've wanted to buy a wide angle for those "grand landscapes", but just haven't pulled the trigger and always used the 18-55mm on my D3500 and now the 24-120mm on my Z6ii. Anytime I feel stagnant I go through social media and look at types of photos that I haven't done before or editing techniques. I think I've started to figure out my "style" and just trying to expand it into different genres. I love this video!

I’ve been doing photography since 1968 when I was in the army. Did all types of photography but finally settled in on portraits and street photography. I’ve been a constant student learning in techniques and will continue to do so. Love your travels through work.

Hi Mark. I first picked up a camera about 15 years ago, but it is the last 5 years that I have really dedicated myself to improving and seen that improvement in my output. Great video as always, keep up the great content.

Excellent video Mark. I’ve been photographing landscapes for about 12 years. The problem I had at first was I was working 60+ hours a week. Now that I’ve retired, I’ve been trying to get out more. I’m transitioning from the ‘grand landscapes’ to more intimate landscapes. My biggest problem is seeing the small shots in the large!

Wonderful video - Thanks Mark. I only really started to seriously take landscapes in the last year. I've always played on cheap cameras and especially the phone camera taking family and grand landscapes, but retirement has allowed me to be a bit more focused on composition and technique. I have a lot to learn (understatement of the year), and your videos are really helpful.

Over fifty years ago I was a professional event photographer. I put the camera down for several decades, but once I retired, I began with mirrorless. I too enjoy landscape photography and I generally try to create photo essays which I post on my blog. One of my most favorite type of pictures include serendipity, i.e. a section of drainpipe with a graffiti smiley face surrounded by a flowering weed. Thanks for all your inspiration.

I began my photography journey way back in middle school and continued through my early 20’s. Life happened and I put my camera down. Almost 2 years ago, at age 56, I received my first digital camera and have been working to improve weekly. I enjoy landscape photography and after watching this video I will be exploring other genres as well. Thanks for sharing your wisdom each week!

I'm in my 6th year as a passionate hobbyist photographer. Started off with all macro, then grand landscapes and now it has morphed into a combination of intimate scenes, abstracts and good old fashioned grand landscapes! There was one night at Out of Oregon when the sky and foreground was so amazing I never took my wide angle lens off and then another night when I challenged myself to only use my telephoto lens the whole night. Very much enjoyed learning from you and Eric Bennett in Oregon!

I’m surprised to find I’m in the midst of my 4th year as a hobbyist landscape photographer. I’ve enjoyed your channel for the wide range of subject matter, from the artistic compositional aspect, to the technical and post-processing aspect, to even the business side of being a pro. (I have no intention of going pro, but it’s interesting all the same.) So thanks!😊

Thanks for this Mark. I'm 1-2 years into my journey and already I feel as if I'm a little bit fixated on getting these grand pictures to the detriment of other compositions. This is very timely for me because I'm in the middle of planning a trip to Iceland myself and having this mindset shift is important. Keep putting out good material. You've been a massive influence on my photography so far.

Love to hear this - thank you!

Totally agree Mark, have just started using my telephoto more (actually the lens I use for bird photography) to explore more compressed and localised compositions. I have bought and sold so many wide angle lenses over the years because I rarely felt I could get an image I was happy with as opposed to the standard 24-120mm and telephoto. You will enjoy the macro lens, it opens up many opportunities for exploration, the hardest thing is remembering to 'think tiny' not just 'think close up'. Enjoy. John Pouw NZ (PS coming up 4 years for me)

I'm 1-2 years into my photography journey. I've been following the channel for almost as long as I've had a camera. You've taught me a lot about editing as well as how to compose properly. Your deep dives into drawing the eye to certain places and just general tips for what to do and not to do have always been in the back of my mind when I'm creating. I've gotten so much value from your work and I'm always excited for Wednesdays. Thanks for everything.

Love hearing this - thanks so much!

Thanks Mark for another excellent video. I've been "more seriously" into photography for about 8 years now. I started to experiment with telephoto landscape in the last 18 months. As one of your other viewers said I still struggle with finding the "diamond in the rough".

Great video!! I have been photographing mostly since in got my first DSLR back in 2004. I shoot primarily wildlife, but have been branching out into more genres. I am really enjoying the challenges of pushing to constantly learn and expand into the more artistic side of photography. There are just so so many types of photography. I have recently converted a camera to shoot infrared and I am having fun experimenting with that.

I've been trying "serious" photography for 10-12 years, but have seen the largest improvements in my technique and photos within the last 4 years or so, when I started taking a higher proportion of artsy photos, going out specifically for photography, upgrading my gear, etc. Your channel has really helped me analyze certain aspects of photography where I could feel the photo wasn't quite right but I couldn't exactly determine why it wasn't working. Thanks much for all the excellent tips, pointers, and clear breakdowns of why you do things in a particular way!

Beautiful work Mark, thank you for sharing

Great video Mark. 2-3 years into my learning journey and beginning to appreciate the versatility of the telephoto lense (100-400). Can safely say that I wouldn't be anywhere near as far along if it wasn't for your channel, thanks man, very much appreciated

I am at the 2-3 year mark with photography. Been following you for 1 and half years. The advice you and others have given have a been really helpful during my journey at least

Year one completed. Loving it and can't stop there is so much to learn.

Thanks Mark, just what I needed to hear right now. I was being very disappointed with myself but now I believe I’ll get out and just shoot things and think of them differently

20 years on an off with varying intensity, well over a 1000 days of shooting street or abstract or weddings or professional marketing stuff and generally whatever I find appealing. You, James Popsys, and Jamie Windsor are my goto channels on the conceptual side of landscape and adventure photography and The Fro and the Nortrhups for gear. You managed to put together a very nice vibe for your channel and I regularly get recommended something that I'm interested in hearing about. Keep up the good work and have fun doing it!

Excellent video Mark! 30+ years with landscape and some wildlife, but just the last 13 working more or less full time at it. I enjoy your videos very much.

1-2 years here. Absolutely agree with self development comments, the most growth happens when we sit in discomfort rather than run from it. Finding the story that inspires in the glass rather than filling the frame - so true. Awesome video Mark, so glad I found your channel.

Very interesting video, as it is my 3rd year in photography, i really resonated with this!

Great video - it's really got me thinking about narrowing in on a subject. Thank you!

I got into photography 27 years ago in college, took classes at SCAD and have been pretty much obsessed with it since. Once I got into digital in 2006 there was no turning back. One might wonder why I watch anything photography related on YT, but I am always open to learning something, and there are always things to add to your skills.

Same for me. The journey never stops.

Always a pleasure to follow your videos. im in my 2nd year of my photografy journey. I have to say, a dont stuck into a specific focalrange dispite i dont use longer focalranges that often i "should" do. The thing i most strugle with is, to get good images in my local aerea. I often got good images when i up into the mountains or so, but at home, its more challaning. So i also bought a marcro lense, and this is realy fun i have to say.

Hi Mark, I'm just beginning my second year of seriously trying to be a better photographer. I've been into photography since I was a kid but always just shot on auto and didn't understand composing shots so it was hit or miss. I really consider last fall the beginning of my journey when I set the auto settings aside and started learning to shoot with more intention. Really appreciate your channel!

Hi Mark. I recovered my interest in photography 12 years ago while recovering from cancer, discovering a love of close ups of the abstract images in the bark of Australian indigenous trees. Really appreciated this video. I’m actually more into close ups of nature than I am of wide angle landscapes along with ICM and impressionist type photography. But I still get a lot out if your videos. I was intrigued by your divided landscape images. They reminded me of a concept called the “edge effect”. There’s a podcast on the topic on the Hidden Brain podcast which you might appreciate.

My photography journey is 2 years in and am loving it. Always look forward to your videos Mark especiallly light room editing tips.

Mark, I have been back into Landscape photography now for about 5 years. Keep snapping!

“…as long as you have a camera in hand..”. So true! I’m just getting back to photography after about a 15-20 year break and feel like I’ve forgotten everything. I started with film and did make the switch to digital when my camera equipment was stolen but never got back to the experiments I did when I shot film. I’m looking forward to getting to know my current camera better and getting back out with planned shoots!

I about a year and a half in now. Yours and others channels have definitely helped me hit the ground running and improve quickly. I enjoy the knowledge that there is always more to learn.

Thanks for a thought provoking video Mark; it’s over seven years ago now that I first started doing landscape photography seriously.

thank you for such an awesome video and for sharing all of these thoughts and ideas - very cool!!!! I guess I've been playing with photography for 40+ years, but it's only been the last 5 years that I've really taken it to the next level with digital images. Take care and be safe out there....

This was a great discussion point from you Mark. I still struggle with the composition when I have a wide lens on, so thank you for this.

Loved this video, found it very inspirational, especially for this time of the year (the grey flatness of late Fall, early Winter). Started into photography over 45 years ago, progressed through a variety of genre and yes, getting stuck at times on only one for a while.

Good video Mark, very thought provoking. I'm in my 2nd to 3rd year of photography and like you the big grand scenes have been a feature of my work. Recently however this is changing to more focused objects.

I've been into photography for about 45 years. I started landscape type photography about 16 years ago doing coastal Maine. I've only doing more serious landscapes since last year and started shooting raw files using Lr for about a year. I've come a long way in the last year. I've done the wide angle, telephoto, long exposures with ND filters and wildlife as well. I've learned so much from your videos as well as a few others Mads and Nigel but more from your perspectives . Thanks.

I am 1-2 years into my photography hobby and, as you say, I am still on the steep bit of the learning curve. I have found KZread a fantastic source of information and your channel was, I think, one of the first one or two that I followed. I have just purchased a new camera, moving from an APSC DSLR to a full-frame mirrorless and I spend a lot of time 24-70mm - so yet to get to the telephoto bit.

Great video, Mark. I'm in the 3-4 year category. Mainly Landscape, but do occasional weddings as a second to my colleague (1.5 yrs). Keep your the great work!

You indeed have created awesome images with intimate details in this personal project of yours. Your advice makes a lot of sense. Warm regards ❤

38 years with a Pentex K1000 film camera with 70-210 lens and 500mm and X2 multi… But keeping up with new equipment… You folks help with all this info! Thank you!!!

I'm at the 3 -4 year mark. I absolutely love this VLOG! Great points, great informational ideas. I do not intend in going pro. I do what I do for therapy and for my kids and grandkids to show them we have an amazing beautiful world. That it's not always chaos and ugly out there

I have been doing photography for many decades, primarily in film. There was an unfortunate hiatus for about 10 years but have now jumped into the digital age in the last 1-2 years. I thought it would be like riding a bike and I would pick things up quickly, but that has not been the case. It has been more like starting from scratch. I agree that challenging oneself with new types of photography is great. I have recently tried doing some cityscape shots and each time I go out I learn something new about our local city and about my relationship with my camera. Really enjoy your videos in all aspects. Your tutelage has helped me immensely. Thanks.

Love the ideas and experience. As a new photographer I have tried to dabble in many different types and I've been surprised how much I've learned just by trying new things.

About 5 or 6 years in and I've gradually become obsessed with bird photography. I do find now and then that taking landscapes or macro or night photos is mentally refreshing. I'm just about to have a meet up with a group of photographers I don't yet know to plan a group outing and I'm looking forward to hearing other perspectives on the scenes we end up shooting. I really enjoyed this video, and your attitude in general. Thanks for the channel.

I took all your tips with me to Arkansas to capture the fall colors. I have had a camera in my hands since I was 14. My inspiration came from my heart. Now...I am taking what my heart is experiencing and applying more strategy and technical approach to my photos and it is making a huge difference. A big thanks to you because I have learned a lot from you. PS....14 years was a very long time ago 🤫

Your journey parallels mine quite closely! Great advice!

Professor Denny, you nailed it again! Great insight.

Great video! I believe you always need to learn something new to keep your brain at its best. I’ve started learning Milky Way photography techniques recently.

Very good video, I absolutely agree with your thoughts. Thank you very much for sharing.

Hi Mark! I'm 67, & I live in the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales, UK. I have enjoyed photography since in my early 20's - so pre digital - and have been "seriously" into digital for about 10 or so years now. Your video is so timely for me as I am exactly at your subject. I've bought a long telephoto in the last week and am struggling with getting good results, but working on it. I am subscribed to your channel as I find your style, and manner extremely enjoyable and informative. There are so many fantastic nuggets in your videos that really help me (and I'm sure others) to improve my photography and style. Thank you so much for doing them and sharing your knowledge and experience, it is very much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work!

2 years! been following you for a while Mark! thanks for these great videos.

Very inspirational. I have perhaps 9 to 10 lenses for my camera and purchased my very first Zoom lens last year. The zoom is a 70 to 200 and I have used it for maybe 4 to 5 test snaps. I was shocked over how heavy the lens is, even though this is supposed to be the lightest of the telephoto zooms (a big change compared to even fast primes). That said, this video has inspired me to take the lens out of the closet and put it in my bag. Thank you.

in these times, where there's just arguments on platforms, it's so peaceful and nice to be on this one

Thanks for sharing Mark, I’ve enjoyed your videos to date, I’m doing photography for over ten years now, anytime I need to try learn, I hop on and hear what your experience has been. Thanks so much. I reluctantly launched my website two weeks ago. I just wanted to share some images from Ireland. I’ve a lot to learn, but I’m enjoying the experience.

7+ years and I am doing something similar to what you’re talking about……stepping out of my comfort zone and into what I call my “experimentation” zone - playing with ICM and creating abstracts - which is something I’ve never done and also the “intimate” landscape……rather than the grand scene finding those special details. I’m finding I had “writers block” so to speak with my photography and I wasn’t even feeling much inspiration to go out and shoot. These new techniques are offering me the inspiration that I was missing. Thx again for a great video!

Another excellent video, Mark. I got my Nikon D5500 about 10 years ago and dabbled in landscape & nature photography, but not too seriously. But, since retiring and moving to Tucson I got involved with a local photography club and for the past 2.5 years have been much more serious and consistent with photography. I still do mostly landscape & nature photography, but have tried to incorporate using my 70-300mm lens rather than strictly using my 18-55. I’ve also tried ICM and other techniques to keep things interesting. Keep making great videos and inspiring us to expand out photographic journey.

Hello Mark..I love photography. It’s been a hobby for over 30 years. Sadly though having a full time job and career all those years, hasn’t allowed much time for photography. But now that I’m getting older and have more time. I’m dedicating more time to my photography. It’s exciting and it’s also exactly why I watch your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Your videos on creating a storyboard and finding a scene within a scene inspired me to spend more time with a telephoto lens. This fall I rented a nice 70-200 to take to the mountains and I had such a good time with it!

I’m in my second year and I will try every type and genre of photography I can. Doing so has made me look at things completely differently and it has expanded my creativity. Sometimes things work and sometimes they fail but unless you give them a go you will never know. The beauty of photography I believe is that it doesn’t cost anything to make mistakes, it’s what you learn from making them and putting them right that matters. When you get things right it is so rewarding. There is too much going on around us to religiously stick to one type of photography, give anything a try when the opportunity arises is my motto 😉

After many years of travel photography with an SLR, I became more serious about photography when I switched to digital twenty years ago and learned post-processing skills. Now I do “local photography” - gardens, woodlands, wetlands, wildlife and an occasional automobile meet-up. This takes me from macro to telephoto. Thanks for the good ideas on more ways to expand!

A great vid and that's why I come here. I'm getting to be an old guy and don't do the fancy tech stuff that I barely learned anyway. Just the basics these days. But the challenge of getting a good shot, be it landscape or some minimalist thing is still there. I think your post is so on the money.

Great video, Mark. And such an encouraging reminder. My photography journey began in 1999 with film shooting youth sports action (our kids). But a few years in and with more time later in my career my wife and I began to travel and explore the western US and my interest in landscape photography began. That has been going ~15 years now but only really kicked in when I fully retired 4 years ago. I'm just a hobbyist though a couple of local charities offer prints of my work to raise money. I guess my point is that I have been at this a long time - but not full time. So my development has been slower. That said, I, too get stuck on the grand landscape and/or on certain subjects. Mountains. Waterfalls. The Coast (as we call it here in Oregon). But after a while it is difficult to improve. Not only do I struggle to find new compositions that I haven't already done, I begin to look too critically at each scene noticing every little thing that keeps it from being "more perfect" and failing to appreciate the wonder of it all. That is a very long way to say, "Thanks"! I need to get out and slow down and spend more time looking at various scenes. Looking for details I had not noticed before. Sometimes things right at my feet. And learning techniques that I had not learned before just as I did with sports action photography, the grand scenics and then waterfalls. Each new "genre" requires not only different technique but also a different way of looking and seeing. And that takes time and lots of trial and error! Which if I allow myself can be really fun.

3-4 years and have been following you almost from the beginning 🙏🏻

Thank you for the videos Mark, new subscriber and have been catching up with your older content. Photography has been a hobby for, good grief, 60 years. First pictures for high school in the late 50’s. Still have my first SLR, a Minolta SR1. It went with me to Korea in 1962, and off and on until the DSLR came along. Shoot local sport car tracks, landscapes, macro, birds. Master of none however. Mirrorless now, and BW film with a 70’s film SLR.

Hi Mark , now in my third year and totally enjoying all aspects and now having upgrade to Sony Alpha a7iv astro photography is amazing 😊📷

Photography has always been part of my life since my childhood. Up until 2020, my photography revolved mainly around sports and motorsporsports. Events have made me reflect on what my photography meant to me and have for the last two years dedicated myself strictly to nature and landscape photography. I love the freedom of creativity, the evolution, the techniques and feel there is so much to learn and be curious about that for the first time in my life, I feel like I am creating images and not just simply taking images. Thanks to your channel and many others, I feel excited about this new direction I am taking with my photography and totally enjoy these videos. I still have a ways to go, but that is the most exciting part of it all !! Thanks Mark and keep up the great work, it's inspiration to us all.

I think some of the out of the box thinking techniques you mentioned will prove immensely useful and is something I plan on trying more with autumn waning and winter on the way. Winter is so unpredictable in the midwest and can be lack luster so techniques like these will boost motivation and help capture something even when the overall scene may seem drab

Been a hobbiest for 8 years on top of being a full time school bus driver. I do mostly landscape and nature but dabble in different styles here n there. Always learning new things it seems watching channels like yours so thank you!

I am a come back to photography I did a lot, mostly family and landscape, at the early stages of Canon EOS 650, but professional life got in the way and I am now coming back and re-learning every thing, including post processing, so the last 4 months have been exciting, frustrating but all rewarding, thank you for the videos.

I have only been serious about landscape photography for the last 3 to 4 months in terms of equipment and composition. I do it as a stress reliever and a way to break from the daily grind without any monetary incentives or reimbursement. Prior to this I was a Pro amateur iPhone user 10+ years, like most everyone else. I thoroughly enjoy your channel with your helpful advice and tips and most importantly helping me to improve my passion for landscape photography. Keep up the awesome work.

Although you said it was a project just for yourself, I would absolutely love to see more of your Land Divided project. Those that you showed in this video are fantastic! I am 5-6 yrs in my photography journey and enjoy each and every one of your videos. I always learn something new from you.

Dude. Your enthusiasm for growth is so contagious. I needed this, thank you so much!

Thank ya Debborah!

I’ve been on my journey for 6-7 years now since picking my camera back up. Agree with your description of getting ‘stuck’ and needing a push to try something new. A technique I have used is going out with only one lens...wide angle or telephoto...doesn’t matter which. Having only one lens that may be the wrong lens for the location or subject or conditions MAKES you get creative. You look at your environment very differently as you have to view everything through one lens, one eye, so to speak. Another way to get unstuck when it happens.

I’m in the 1-2 year range. Thank you for your inspiring videos!

I re-started 6 months ago. I had a DSLR from 2010-2012 but was only using auto mode. Now shoot in manual and have learnt a lot through your vids!

I am just starting out, and trying to learn as much as possible.

Great video Mark! I am a total newbie, as in just bought my first camera outside of my phone (Nikon D5200). Learning what buttons to push and dials to turn. I find your videos very insightful as well as inspirational, appreciate your willingness to share!

Thank you Mike!

5 years in (started with a pocket camera). This year picked up a 17-40 f/4 and then a 16-35 f/2.8. Yes, I was obsessed with wide angle lens for most of the summer. Finally, I got some sense back in my head and now my go-to lens is the 24-105 f/4. I do like using the 16-35 f/2.8 at 35mm for macro shots. the f/4 isn't the same (not as good) as f/2.8 for background blurriness. I shoot mainly in forest areas, no mountains.

I’m 2 years into photography, I started with canon rebel T7 and recently I got the fuji XT-4. I’m still a little all over the place still learning the new camera but I’m slowly getting better thanks to your amazing videos I’m trying all the tips you give 👍. Thank you thank you 🙏

that's 100% what I have experienced and felt Mark - thanks for sharing!! I started out with a 24-70 but a friend of mine said go up to 70-200. I found my self using it 90% of the time even when shooting my outdoor furniture designs outdoor. I am in my 5th year as a semi-pro. I don't make income with it but I use my knowhows to promote my business and outdoor furniture designs and I easily have saved $50-$100K just because I can do landscape photography myself and my photos help open doors to my business, big time.

Crossing 1 year. Just upgraded to a canon 90D from an old rebel XTI! Love your videos and advice.

5 years, just really starting to fine tune interests and skills. Thanks for you contribution to my journey.

1-2 years into this journey as a hobby. Started with a repairable Canon T2i that just needed about 20 minutes of attention with a screwdriver and began snapping shots: pets, wildlife, landscapes, and some I guess would be considered abstract. I basically take pictures of what I like to see, entirely for myself. Your videos about lens choices, composition, editing and storytelling have been extremely helpful to me. I came away from a recent Yellowstone trip with a few lucky shots, a few successful landscape images and 1-2 that others have told me look like they belong in an art show.

First of all, thank you for all the tips and tutorials. Bought my first Nikon DSLR in 2010, but didn'y actually start photographing regularly until 2019.. So I would put myselft in the 3-4 year slot.

Yes.... I've been doing landscape for 3 yrs and I realized I have already "graduated" the way you describe your own journey... I have been looking at and photographing more intimate landscapes or details, without really noticing how much of an integral part of my journey it has become. But it really is, and it's a natural progression, it seems...

Mark, I have been at photography for about 9 years. Like you i have transitioned through several areas of interests. Great video. Thanks.

I'm currently 8 months into my photography. I bought a Sony a7iii. The first lens I bought for my camera to use along side the kit lens, a 28-70mm, was the Tamron 70-300mm telephoto. I'm happy I did, I use it a lot. In these 8 Months I've taken over 4000 photos. I'm one who likes to shoot a lot and pick through them afterward for the ones I really want to edit and post to my various social medias and occasionally get a few printed. I absolutely love photography and see myself doing this for a long time. Thanks for the videos and the tips you've given.

Mark, love your channel. Started photography in the 80's Minolta film camera shooting my children sports, family events, vacations and landscape. My equipment was stolen when digital cameras started to hit the scene. Knew film was on the way out and digital was the new technology but not advanced enough to my liking so gave up photography until the Nikon D70 arrived. I love many subjects to shoot, from travel, landscape in USA national parks, grandchildren, sports and abstract. Hardly an expert photographer just trying to get better every time I shoot. Still make plenty of mistakes. That is what I love about photography it seems like your always learning be it a new camera or new software.....preservation of memories.

First year… I live in the same general area. I noticed so many photos from the west coast and was wondering what inspires you locally? This video makes me realize I just need to get out more and…. learn. Thanks.
