I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

+John Roach Thanks. I am amazed by what I can do with the N1V2, especially when coupled with fast glass. I took this the day I got the FT1 adapter that lets me use any Nikon F lens. The N1V2 lets me shoot 5, 15, 30, and even 60 fps for great action captures. Downside only center focus, but the focus is fast.
Great colors and clarity.
Very nice David!

I often don't care much for pictures of birds, but the reflection made this one special for me.
+Thomas Paris Well I thank you, since I do take a lot of pictures of birds…
I had realised, yes 😉
