I have been an avid amature photographer for 25 years. I started with a K1000 (still have it!), which at the time was all I could afford, when I began to get curious about combining photography with my other life-long interest, astronomy. That camera served me very well over the years, and astrophotography proved to require much more patience (and dollars) than I have. None the less, I soon discovered the joys of traditional photography, and have upgraded cameras four times (and telescopes three times). I still tinker with astrophotography, but mostly enjoy nature and landscape photography.
