Technical Details

It would be quite boring to fill the website with technical details of each photograph displayed here.  Aperture, shutter speed, etc.  All boring to most readers.  And most professional photographers could guess and estimate fairly accurately by looking at the photos.  Nonetheless, I’m happy to answer any questions that I can about the gear, software, or settings.  Just post the question in the Comments box at the bottom of each page, or use the form on the Contact page.

I will say that although I’ve been using cameras and taking pictures for almost 40 years, I’m rather new to digital photography.  In order to reduce risk to gear and save space, I first carried a rather basic point-and-shoot camera when traveling overseas.  Then I upgraded the camera to a nicer point-and-shoot, and then finally started carrying a DSLR on every trip.  Perhaps the progression of photo quality is evident in the pictures presented here.
