I've fallen in love with photography in the last few years. I think I have a lot of company. Digital cameras definitely made the difference for me. To be able to do some post-processing on a computer, rather than working in a darkroom, really opened up a new world for me; I couldn't take the chemical odors of the darkroom. There's also the instant feedback with the digital camera, and I really like the possibilities of expression using photoshop.
The digital camera makers seem to have adopted the same pattern as computer makers. You buy a camera and within twelve months, something offering more features is available for about the same amount of money that you spent on the old camera. I'm trying to ignore those desires to upgrade, just as I do with computers, though I love looking at what's new.
I took this photo using a Nikon D70s, with the new lens they have, the 18-200mm with image stabilization. I was surprised and delighted to be able to get the lightning, after many misses, but doing it all hand-held.
