I still have a dark room ,film cameras in 35mm & med.formats several Dslr's and some ancient movie cameras and they're not for sale........I might try the mirrorless variety if I get bored with nothing better to do , but I seriously doubt it. The technology is way smarter than I am and I'm in my early 70's so I'll try to make the most of what I have rather than worry about what I don't. Enjoy this great hobby and.....Don't Out-Live Your Money !
I too am a newcomer to the Hog-Blog and have only recently switched to Full Frame and L series lenses. They are very costly but the results I now get from these tools have made me a happy camper and a better photographer. In my limited knowledge and experience and in what I have come to understand from the posts of others in this forum, I would recommend FF, the best Glass you can afford to match up with the camera-body you can get either new or reconditioned. And if you can rent a rig for a weekend to see the results it yields before sinking your last dime into a combo please take the time to make the best decision. The time spent in testing will not be wasted and you'll sleep better at night....hopefully. Good luck .
Beautiful Scenes......love them. Thanks
Great capture of the little Blue Bird. We have them also and they are very territorial with respect to other birds and nest close to the ground which often leads them to invasion by Snakes and English Sparrows which ends badly for the Blue Fella.....love them and the Wrens as well. Thanks
It looks so romantic and although I have never been there , everyone I know who have , say they loved it and would visit that area again. Thamks for a great photo.
They certainly are lovely birds. Thank You for sharing them with us.
Winner... Winner....chicken Dinner........love it. West Va.'s a lovely state.
I could cover an entire wall with this one as a pathway to something wonderful. The B&W make it really appealing and the glimmer of sunlight on the pathway clinched-it....nice job.

It was overcast so I could not get shots of the Tetons but I still love these old buildings.
The first & second photos are powerful and the fall colors of this region make me wish I lived there year -round. The charm is definitely real and I will have to visit the Tetons some day and possibly build a cabin.
Mr. Quist.....you had a good time indeed.......looks like the person taking the shots did also.....haha.
The King Fisher & The Falcon are my favorites.....Gorgeous photos.
I never get tired of looking at your work sir.......exquisite to say the least....thank you for sharing the beauty that our world provides us.
These are spectacular and crisp......hand-held 800mm is remarkable.......great work . Thank You.
Love the first two pics......solid ,clean & crisp and the background helps to show the details in the flower....nice job.
Wow.....I love this one with that sky from another planet look. It takes on a whole new approach to viewer appeal. Thanks again.
