Photographers (in alphabetical order) -- Not all of them deal with nature and wildlife, but they all offer some strong images and particular styles.

Some sites also contain pages of hints, tips, and guides, which can be a valuable resource for photographers of any level.

So bookmark them, and poke around every once in a while - new galleries and additions always happen along, it's what we strive for.

Gene Anderson, http://www.designsinlight.com -- Gene likes strong color and sweeping vistas, and produces some stunning landscape photos. He also uses his talent to help support various nonprofit humanitarian organizations, and there can never be too much of that.

Matt Clara, http://www.mattclara.com/index.html -- Not only does Matt have a great eye for crisp photography, but a creative streak for 3D graphics as well. I'm partial to his B&W work the most, but stop by and see what strikes your fancy. Matt has also provided some of his 3D models available for download, for those who are interested in pursuing this branch of graphics work.

Rob Holland & Skip Pudney, http://www.imageshooters.com -- Rob and Skip are both photographers and writers, and specialize in the deep woods, mostly in the Carolinas, and in the western states. Take a deep breath while viewing some of their forest images, and you'll swear you can smell the leaves and water.

Al Jacobson, http://www.aljacobs.com -- Al's site is one of the best resources for any aspiring wedding photographer (and probably quite a few experienced ones!). He's put years of experience into his guides, and he tells everyone what to expect and how to handle it. A must-visit if you're considering the wedding trade, or even if you're planning your own wedding. And don't miss his gadget section.

Steve Kramer's "PhotoEnvisions," http://www.photoenvisions.com -- Steve lives in Thailand but travels extensively, and presents his subjects with an eye towards culture and journalism. And it's clear from many of his portraits that he relates well to the people he meets. Steve has put this to good use as both a teacher and a feature photojournalist, who admits to being delightfully busy.

Tony Parkinson's "Phoenix Imaging ,"http://www.phoeniximaging.co.uk/index.html -- Tony is another photographer with varied interests, and applies his style to all of them. Tony's images tend to give a softer, often dreamlike impression. Also check out his guides for digital work and emulating B&W from color images.

Bert Sirkin, http://www.PhotoBert.com/page1.asp -- Bert is another one of these people who have traveled extensively, and many of his images show off the grandeur of the western deserts and Alaska. Bert's images often remind me irresistibly of meticulous paintings. He also hosts some pages of tips, links, and excellent cheatsheets for the Nikon line of cameras.

Info:
Equipment is shown in the photo specs. Primarily Canon equipment, though some of my older stuff was shot on Olympus (or when I really want to travel light.) I've also branched out into medium format with Mamiya equipment. Everything is carried in belt packs, with the exception of the tripod -- straight down my back with two straps, weight balanced and distributed. I have a lot of esoteric and homemade accessories, things I've suited to fit my own style or needs -- and because I'm cheap. Photographic equipment can be ridiculously overpriced sometimes, and I don't like playing by those rules ;-)

Film is mostly Fuji Provia 100F and Velvia, because I can depend on the results, but I'll try out anything. Kodak E100VS and SW have their uses, as do Fuji Astia and Sensia -- all of these are slide films. For print, I often use Fuji Superia 400 and occasionally Reala, Fuji NPH when I'm doing people, and several different Ilford films for B&W work.

Digital Work is (or has been) accomplished through a variety of cameras, from a Sony F717 through a Canon Pro 90 IS to a Canon 300D. Scanning of slides is done through a Minolta Scan Dual IV, with editing done in Adobe Photoshop 6.0

This website was created over a large period of time, using several different programs, by a guy (me) that knows very little html. At any time you may notice changes in format between different sections, and this is simply growing pains. The curse of making a large site -- you end up remaking it all when you see the previous mistakes ;-).
