Your Bio

I'm a retired professional photographer and am enjoying shooting what I want when I want. Am also enjoying the Florida sun.
Am shooting with a Nikon D80 mounting the new 18-200 VR lens. I will say it is a fine piece of glass and have had no problems. Also always very sharp. Nikon's NEF raw mode is very handy. I was worried about white balance when I shot the alter photos at the Chrism Mass. There was fluorescent, tungsten and daylight (from stained glass windows) but the system had it all figured out. The result looked fine. Take a look. Will keep adding photos as time goes on.

In addition, we send out a few times each month our Newsletter SPMUG Tips and Tricks to all members who have email addresses. We try to have free raffles for prizes at every meeting. So come, meet our friendly group and start enjoying your computing experience. Technical Stuff: These were shot with a Nikon D80 digital camera with an 18 to 200 VR zoom lens. I used an ASA of 400 with auto exposure so the lens, in this room, was always wide open, f 5.6. The shutter responded with speeds from about 1/15th to 1/60th of a second. This slooow exposures were possible because of the VR (vibration reduction) feature of this lens. For more information on any photo, move your mouse arrow to the right side of the image and a menu opens. Click on Photo Info. To easily capture a photo to your Macintosh Desktop click on Save Photo in the same menu.

Chrism Mass : A very interesting ceremony of the Catholic Church where the oils that are used for anointing and for adding to Holy Water are consecrated. Here the oils are brought to the Altar during the Chrism Mass and then Bishop Gerald M. Barbarito blesses the Chrism after adding balsom. This took place at the Cathedral of Saint Ignatius Loyola in the Diocese of Palm Beach, Florida.
