I have been involved with photography for many years and my first camera was a Minolta, fully manual. How things have changed since then. I made the switch to digital in early 2002, starting with scanned prints. Then came my first digital camera that I used along with my film cameras. It wasn't long before I converted to fully digital equipment and I haven't looked back. For my processing I use Photoshop CS3 and a cool little program called Neat Image that does a remarkable job at cleaning up digital noise, a common result from using high ISO and also the resulting noise caused from correcting underexposed shots.

Living on Canada's East Coast provides me with ample opportunity for excellent photographs and it seems that I never run out of interesting shooting locations. The people are among the most friendly in North America and if you have never been down this way, you owe it to yourself to visit The Maritimes for a terrific vacation! For all you birders out there, this area ranks among NB's finest birding hotspots. The best times for birds are during the spring migration right up to mid-June for warblers and mid-august until mid-October for the fall migration.
