I joined DeviantArt web site a week ago and I am still feeling my way along this wonderful world of very talented photographic artists.
I am a photographer in Real Life and in Second Life. I use Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 and DMC-FZ200 cameras. I also use my iPhone 6Plus.
My work and interests are very varied and cover many topics: Landscapes, Autumn Leaves, Mountains, City Buildings and Bridges, Portraits and etc.
Some of my pictures are tone mapped images, using Photomatix Pro 5 software.
I have been retired for twenty years and photography is my hobby. I post my images to 500PX, Flickr, Ipernity and DeviantArt web sites.
I have been married for 49 years now and we have one son. I will be 78 in July/14.
I have an IMAC 21.5 inch desktop computer and I use Iphoto and Aperture for editing images.
I worked as a mechanical project and design engineer in the pulp and paper industry for 33 years.
I had polio in 1951 at age 15 and am now dealing with its late effects. I do not eat orally anymore as I have severe swallowing difficulties.
I use a PEG Tube for feeding.
