Totally forgot about the "Introduce Yourself" post when I first dropped in to UHH a few weeks ago. Better late than never?

I am probably proof that doing something for a long time does not necessarily make for an expert. My first camera came along in the 1950s - a consumer twin-lens Argus that shot 620 film. Then an exchangeable-lens Argus C33, more 35mm rangefinders and SLRs along with the odd twin-lens. Naturally I have a large portfolio of images and awards from that time. . . NOT!!

A Nikon SLR was handed down to me 3-4 decades ago. Never wanting to change lens mounts, I still have a Nikon system. Nikon builds very good tools, but so do half a dozen others. There is more difference between shooters than between camera brands.

I put in 25 years as a computer programmer and data analyst, and 10 years with digital audio recording and mastering, so Post-Processing digital images when they came along made total sense to me. The PP tools we have today are amazing but I still put the emphasis on getting the shot right in the first place.

Recently my DSLR system has evolved to mirrorless. A new Nikon Z7 sports a 24-70 f/4 zoom and 85 1.8 along with adapted F-mount zooms including the 70-200 and 80-400. I like to shoot from a tripod and use a circular polarizer and ND filters as needed.

These images are tacked on here because I like them. Some go back a few years.
