A policeman had a speed trap set there and looked at me as if I was crazy for taking a picture of it. Actually took about six. Just fun.

Thank you. I think I finally figured out how to shoot a winter scene that has some color in it. Slower shutter speed.

Profile Information

About Me and My Photography Experience:
Older photographer. Surface Science Research Associate...Univ. of Maine. Aircraft maintenance technical writer. I would like to be a great photographer.

Favorite photographer; Ansel Adams...who said "white to black are infinite shades of gray". Favorite photo of mine..."Three Brothers"

Favorite things to do; Click, bang, stargaze and tasting life. IE Photograph, shoot tiny holes in paper targets, gaze (study) at the night sky, soaking up everything into my pleasure sensors.

My start in digital photography was a clunky HP 215. Soon migrated to a Minolta F100. Then a Kodak P850 which was a very good camera. Now I use a Canon and am learning its functions. The new KODAK Z980 has quickly become my GOTO camera. Amazing detail, amazing features and I never thought it would outdo my Canon but it does.

My work runs from black and white photos of any subject, to nature, geology to minerals, animals, flowers, seascapes, landscapes, people doing what they do and of course, family..

Favorite photographic area;Anywhere In the woods, Newfoundland Canada, Alaska, British Columbia...Yukon Territory, my own yard AND anywhere there are subjects THAT PLEASE MY EYE.
My Photography Equipment:
Kodak P850 which was a very good camera, Canon Rebel EOS XTI. Excellent, new, Kodak Z980 with video, Edwards Microscope for micro-macro, Logitech 4000 Web cam hooked to microscope, HP scanner....Adobe PS, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. Lenses.
