Just curious, in your photographic journey was there a time, situation, class, or experience etc. That you can look back on and say...wow I get that concept...and the light turned on in your creative mind to improve your shots. Sometimes as I am looking through my average everyday photos one will stand out and I have to step back and say to myself, wow that one turned out really well what was I thinking about or doing that helped bring it to life.


Great question. In 1967 my Junior High offered Photography as a Science elective. My teacher, Mr. Reed was awesome. Tough and critical was his nature, but he also knew when to encourage and praise. He had very high standards that motivated you to work hard.

He had two mantras:
1. Slow down, you're moving too fast, you've got to make the moment (morning) last. (Ala 59th Street Bridge Song)
2. If you can't get the picture you want with a 50mm MOVE CLOSER. (We had no budget for telephotos)


50 years later, when I go on a photo shoot, I still hear in my head....feeling groovy. Thank you Mr. Reed for giving me so much joy from taking pictures.

A quick show of hands please. How many photographers here are also musicians? I find it interesting that so many people who are "artistic" often are so in more than one discipline. Ansel Adams was also a classically trained pianist, you have Ralph Gibson, and more recently people like Brian Adams, Nikki Sixx (no joke!), and Graham Nash. All are well known musicians and are also Photogs. My father was a photographer and jazz drummer who must have rubbed off on me because I'm also a musician in addition to being a photographer. My eldest son, who plays multiple instruments, also has a keen eye for photography.
I'm sure that there have been many studies on this, but I'm just wondering how many in our little community practice both arts.
A quick show of hands please. How many photographe... (show quote)

I was a drummer until I had a hip replacement.
Find it too uncomfortable to sit on the stool for long now. An armchair is not very practicable.

Try a "Cocktail Set. You can stand it's very portable.

[quote=StevenG]...a Miranda Sensorex.

Thanks for posting the pictures. My first SLR was a Miranda Sensomat in 1969. I loved that camera. I forgot about the removable prism.

[quote=steffro1]Some shots from the other day at Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC. The weather was overcast after a rain storm, so I decide to go to BGG with the 105mm Macro for some fun. Hope you enjoy the results!


Wow! Very nice.

River Terns, like those I posted yesterday are relatively slow moving birds compared to the Little Green Bee Eater. A few action images. Speaks volumes about the fast focus acquisition capability of the D500.


Inspiring. Thank you.
