Serious amateur photographer is probably the best category to place me in. Been interested in photography since I was nine years old and my mother gave me a plastic camera from the corner drug store that cost about $10.00. A lot of money for what it was back in 1966.

Recently delved into digital photography after many decades of using my 35mm film camera, a Minolta X700, and was having a hard time getting film with lower ISO to shoot with. I figure I deserved a new camera since the last one I bought (Minolta X700) was back in 1982, Now shoot Olympus E510. Mostly with the kit lens but also acquired some adapter rings so that I could use my old Minolta lens. This made the camera more spousal friendly!

My photos concentrate mainly on nature. Landscapes and flora mostly and have recently played around with HDR, long exposure and panoramas using multiple stitched photos. Stitching enables me to make huge panoramas without the need for a super wide angle lens. There are always new things to learn and even after many years of taking photos

I learn something new almost every day. New techniques (to me anyway) and with the advent of the internet and digital photography, new styles that are more readily available to a much wider audience than just our family and friends.
