My photographic interest really blossomed in 2003 when I made the change from traditional film to a digital format. Much of the previous 30 years was spent learning the art of wildbird sculpture in wood and occasionally dabbling in wild bird photography. "Bird Carvers" styles can vary greatly and my passion for detail and realism eventually got me into the field more and more, seeking higher quality reference photographs.
I started receiving request for images and the sales moved my hobby and passion into a small business. Over the years I advanced from traditional 35mm film cameras to a basic digital "point and shoot" camera and then to a digital 35mm Canon SLR. I soon learned and used "Digiscoping" as a way to get closer to my subjects with the 35mm SLR attached to a high power spotting scope. After using this technique for years the drawbacks became apparent and I advanced to the next stage of nature photography, telephoto lenses. The quest to capture high quality images of birds and other animals of the Northwest continues. I am pleased to offer for your review my Nature Photography Images in several galleries.
My plans for 2010 are to capture additional quality images for the landscape, waterfall and flower galleries. I will spend more time with floral images using macro photography and will be hunting for new and different wildbird captures.
