p.1 #1 · Images before joining FM 2002


While going thru all my old files I ran across some of my first zoo shot with my old Canon D30
These were all taken in 2002 before I joined Fred's . For those of you that didn't shoot back then we only had 3.3 Million Pixels. this is also before I new what Raw was so they were all shot in JPG. I truly was green when I started this digital stuff.

Enjoy , I hope I have improved since then .

Tom

Tom, boy, you started out with a bang as well! Memories are the best part of photographs.

Nice work the meager px count Tom Some great comps here, 2, 3, 4, 6 of the critters for me. The candid of the kid just being blown away by the zoo is priceless. Looks somebody was following in dads foot steps

Thanks The D30 was my first DSLR, and for me this is when I started to shoot nature type stuff . my first digital was an Oly 2500L I think that was the model 2.5 MP I used it to take before and afters of my Remodeling stuff ( Kitchen and Bath )

6k actuations? So how do you roll back the odometer on a digital camera??

I've done that in a week.....but then again I've deleted 5999 in a week too!

Hi Tom, to my eye the sharpening looks fine, they may be a bright/washed out but only marginally.

That little kid is a cutie pie! I like the 2nd Komodo. Man! How strong do you have to be to squeeze an apple into juice!

Great set, Tom, and a cool biop. If "Little Blue Eyes" doesn't melt your heart, you don't have a pulse. TFS'ing....Mitch

You give proof to the saying it doesn't matter the number of pixels or quality of the camera when it is in the hands of a skilled photographer! Excellent old shots! The candid of the boy is tops!
