Profile

Greetings!!

I am a 10-year-old little kid, cleverly disguised as a “woman of a certain age.” Ordinary, garden-variety, (very) happily married domestic goddess (nice work if you can get it!), a mom of two, grandmom of one … two darling dogs also share my life.

I have been shooting with a Nikon D40x, and most of my portfolio is made up of images from this camera. I was recently surprised (by Dear Hubby on June 21, 2009) with a Nikon D300, so most of the newer images are from it. !! Unless I’ve scanned something from my old Nikon 35mm, my older shots were done with an Olympus C-5000 zoom.

My lenses are an 18-135mm, a 55-200mm VR, a 70-300mm VR, an 18-200mm VR and a 60mm Macro, all Nikkor/Nikons, and a 150-500mm OS Sigma. I regularly shoot with UV, CP and ND Grad filters. I have three tripods and a monopod … hate all four … well, the jury’s still out on the new Manfrotto with the cool, heavy duty ball head … but I admit they are necessary at times. A Nikon SB400 bouncing speedlight is the final part of my equipment.

I do post processing primarily in Photoshop, Version 8, and Corel Paint 11. Raw images are processed in either Nikon’s Capture NX2 or Bibble Pro.

I can’t seem to make up my mind what I like to photograph best, so … just about anything that’s colorful and can’t get away from me gets snapped. Still very much in the learning and experimenting stage with both photography and digital art … hope I never learn it all and hope I never outgrow the fun of it!!

John Constable once said, “I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.” I couldn’t agree more.

Just remember …

“What comes from the heart, goes to the heart.” Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

”…And above all, watch, with glittering eyes, the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” ... “Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”
~Roald Dahl.

Thanks for stopping by … hope you find something that brings a smile, jogs a pleasant memory or, best yet, makes you want to dance!!!
