Hi from Vista

Hi,
I'm a retired Naval Aviator living in Vista, CA. I currently own a Nikon D5000 and D7000 plus several point-and-shoot cameras. My favorite lens is a Tamron 18-270mm zoom. I also have a Sigma 10-20mm zoom, a Sigma 18-50mm macro, and a Nikkor 50mm 1.8G.
I'm into landscape and sunset photography. I use Photoshop CS5, Capture NX, and ACDSee Pro 4 for image editing.
I became interested in photography as a nine year old when our Illinois home heating system was converted from coal to gas and my Dad converted the coal bin into a darkroom. My Dad owned a twin-lens Rolleiflex and was the first in central Illinois to submit photographs of the houses he appraised with the appraisal report.
During my career as a Naval Aviator I made several deployments to the far east and Japan where I was able to acquire Nikon F SLR models for a fraction of the stateside price. I'm still a Nikon guy except for my favorite point-and-shoot which is a Canon S-95.

On the road to Monument Valley

Hi Chinese Piolet,several years ago I stood in the middle of that road with a tripod mounted Nikon N 80 and took that shot of Monument Valley. Your photo shows a lot of imagination and naturally the person is always more important than the rest of the photo. Welcome.

Hello Chinese Pilot I love scene and floral etc. but the shot I don't know it seems off balance. I guess I am focusing more on your father. Or maybe its your name because my Sister is stationed in Sing a pore and it just reminded me of her, and I got distracted.

Welcome Chinese Pilot. Great shot of one of the great landscape icons but even greater is the portrait. I stood close to where you are standing and in the middle of the road with a tripod mounted Nikon N80 took the same shot years ago.
