This site will give you a tour into the scenics and wildlife of the Allegheny National Forest region of Northwest Pennsylvania and beyond. I've been hiking the hills and valleys of the area for over thirty years, capturing the beauty of the area on film. Take a look through the photo galleries to see some of the many images that I have seen through the lens of my camera. I hope you enjoy them.

In the last few years, photography has made a remarkable turn
around. Digital Photography, which was thrust upon the public, virtually
overnight, has taken over the photo world by storm. Everywhere you go
you see digital cameras in use. What has happened here? Where is film?
Never fear, there are film cameras still being made, and new film
advances on the market every day. This brings me to my topic, or tip, as
the title says!
Just over a year ago, when I would give talks on outdoor photography, I
wouldn’t even mention digital! I was a die-hard film guy, and nothing
was going to change me. The more I read about digital, the more I began
to have a real interest in the subject. I soon had the feeling that if I
didn’t get on the bandwagon soon, I would be left in the dust. Late in
2005 I bought my first digital camera. It was a SLR that would use
all my lenses. Then came 2006, when I began using the digital only.
I have not used any film since! Not being a genius
on the computer, it has been a learning experience all the way, which I
have fallen in love with. My “tip” or just plain advice is very simple.
Try digital! You don’t have to buy a five thousand dollar camera to
start. The digital point & shoot cameras work very well, and have great
optics, with a low price tag. I now find I have the freedom to take
better pictures, because I can see instantly what my exposure is, how my
focus and background is, and if it isn’t right, I erase it. Digital may
not be for everyone, but it works for me. My photography is all still
“natural”. No “superimposing” scenes or animals that shouldn’t be there.
I do use the computer to brighten and sharpen the images, when
necessary, but what you see is really there! Yes, I still have my film
cameras. That’s what got me here, I just can’t let them out to pasture!!
Check my galleries. I’ll bet you can’t tell which are digital or film!!?
