In between our casino hopping and regular dining out, Connie spends most of her time reading while I work on a variety of photography and art projects and keeping this blog up-to-date. Little did I realize back then that this little hobby would end up costing me thousands of dollars over the years in cameras, accessories, photo printers, paper, ink, scanners, picture editing software, etc. Though I have now been taking pictures for years, it seems that I am still a "babe in the woods" and still have so much to learn about taking good pictures. But I guess, that is part of the creative challenge that every picture opportunity presents. My Photography Journey: When I first retired back in 1997, I decided that I needed a hobby and began to dabble in the world of photography. A friend offered me a good deal on a 1.3 megapixel Olympus D-450 Zoom digital camera [Olympus D-450 Zoom Review]. This was my first 'digital' camera and thought it was wonderful. I loved its small size, allowing it to fit in your pocket. It offered 3x optical zoom (35-105mm) with a 2x "digital telephoto" at any focal length and Macro focusing to 8 inches. After several years of use, I learned that I didn't have the ability to be as creative with my photos as I would like due to the limitation of 1.3 megapixels. So I began looking around for a camera with a greater megapixel capability and in early 2005 finally decided upon the Canon PowerShot S2-IS digital camera [Canon S2-IS Review/]. With 5.3 megapixels and 12x optical zoom (36-432mm) and 4x digital zoom. Needless to say I thought I was in heaven. For the past five years this camera worked fine and appeared to be meeting all my needs until I again ran into the same problem - NOT ENOUGH MEGAPIXELS! In late December of 2010 I decided I finally decided to bite the bullet again and upgrade to a higher megapixel camera with interchangeable lenses. Being retired and with money being a somewhat limiting factor, I began to scour the Internet for a new camera. After what seemed like hundreds of hours of research between companies, brands and models, I finally decided upon the Panasonic Lumix DC-G2K digital camera [Panasonic DMC-G2 Review]; a 12.1 Megapixel mirror-less system with a LCD touch screen and Micro Four Thirds lens system. Knowing that I would be taking a lot more pictures in the upcoming months and years, I decided that I needed a new site to better showcase them. Although still a work in progress, this is the result.
