Hello. I’m a retired guy in New England with a small collection of film and DSLR cameras… nothing flashy, just some old functional Minolta’s from the 70’s and my most recent purchase, a Nikon D3300 for backpacking and general family shots.
Of the many hobbies I maintain, photography is the one that sort of ties them all together. Each interest comes with its inherent social community and set of activities that in turn lend themselves to photo opportunities. Most of my photo’s end up on one group forum or another where they’re viewed on a computer monitor. That said, I strive for content, imagination and visual impression, not necessarily for the absolute best clarity money can buy. At times I use nice old manual lens on DSLR bodies. There are some quality old 28, 35, 50 and 80mm prime lenses available at very affordable prices. I recently picked up a fun 200mm f4.5 prime MD for $8 at an antique market… keeps it interesting.
Anyway, I look forward to reading comments and posts and seeing what creative shots people come up with. Best to all.
