Hello,

New member here. I especially enjoy photographing the beautiful birds that grace the Central Coast of California. I prefer portrait style captures whenever possible and use superzoom cameras to accomplish this. All of my bird and wildlife photographs were taken hand-held and have not been cropped.

I especially enjoy taking advantage of side-lighting to capture the types of images I find appealing, so shooting during early morning or late afternoon works best for me. I use Photoshop Elements 12 and Topaz Labs DeNoise to post-process my images.

I hope you enjoy viewing these beautiful birds, which I call living works of art.

Regards,
Tony
