Hi I'm Bill. I have been interested in photography for a couple of years now. I was using a Fuji Finepix 9600 but just upgraded to a Canon EOS 50D. I like it a lot. I try not to do much PP on my photos as I want them to come out of the camera the way I want it to look. I do a little cropping and occasionally some color adjustments but that's about it. I do, sometimes, do some color spotting but that can't be done in the camera.
I mostly like Black and white and lately have been experimenting with long exposure night shots. I live in Long Beach and a good night shot of the Queen Mary has been elusive but I think the new camera will change that. I mostly photograph nature shots and boats. Of course I will take pictures of just about anything but I have never really been into taking pictures of people, at least not people that know they are being photographed. I also like getting shots of details of things. The sort of things you may walk by and not really notice.
I joined DPS to try and get some new ideas and challenges for new shots and new types of shots. I really like the weekly assignments idea. I think it will really challenge me to expand my creative process with my pictures.
My photos are at
