Having been putting a camera up to my eye or my eyeglasses since the 60s I now spend time looking around on the web to find photography and photographic information that delights my appetite for the result of careful viewing of the planet and its inhabitants. And man, is that a load of fun.

the long view

taken at the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre near Midland, Ontario, Canada with a Pentax K10D, image altered in Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 using the clarify function.





Althought part of my reason for buying the Pentax was its ability to use old manual focus lenses I have found myself using almost exclusively the FA 28-80 f3.5/4.5 lens. Not terribly wide but very useful for general purpose photography.  Some days it does seem a heavy rig to tote, in which case I will take my tiny Sony or my Nikon Coolpix, especially if I have no specific plans to shoot and am just taking a camera along in case a UFO lands beside my car.
