Profile Information
Been a Pentax user for over 30 years [following the death of my Practika Nova B].
All sorts of lenses still exist in my bag, as well as an istD, a K7 and now an Optio WG-2...
[all three cameras get well used]
I would thoroughly recommend the WG-2 to any naturalists out there...
its capabilities are amazing...
focusing from 1cm outwards with its own ringlight!!
Not to mention the microscope setting...
1cm with 30x zoom function...
at 2 Megapixels that can look a bit grainy...
but magnifique for record shots!!

Another Pentax item...
bought for me by herself [thanks, love] are the Pentax Papilio 8.5x binoculars...
can be held and focused with one hand...
focus down to 50 centimetres...
and you can use the WG-2 to take photos through them!!

Married, busy preserving food [slowly]and brewing....
when I am not out and about with my cameras taking pix...
or watching and blogging about Natural History...
or gardening...
could we please have 48hr days!!

Hiya Tim, nice to hear from you.

Thank you for your compliment.
I used Topaz Adjust on this one, I am useless with Photoshop so I just rely on a couple of plugins; sometimes they do a good job & on some images just crap so I ditch 'em.

What is a 'webjourneyman'?

Regards, Larry.
Best Regards, Larry.

All the gear & no idea.

A webjourneyman, Larry, is a web designer who works on websites and is continuously learning... but never as fast as the geeks change the programming techniques... I have mastered nothing and still look up things.
A webmaster, however, is someone who works on websites... but also has enough time to, or think they have, mastered all the programming skills.

Nowadays I spend more time gardening and D.I.Y.'ing than web design... I've recommended all my clients to create a blog and do their own posting... and I just tweak and polish!!

Having moved from Leeds to Central France, we've changed a matchbox terrace backyard, pocket sized front garden and two allotments up by t'Rugby & Cricket grounds....
for 6.5 Acres with a millstream and river...
loads of photo opportunities on the doorstep...
not that there weren't in Headingley...
but we no longer get a disturbed night from revellers taking empties to the bottlebank on the way to the Co-op at the end of the road for refills...
or the Paramedic sirens blasting up and down the main road!!
AAAAhh! Peace!!:
We are here...
and pix can be found here
Never be afraid to talk about your techniques...
"Give a thousand photographers...
the same camera, lens and scene...
and you'll always get a thousand different takes!!"
