I dabble with photography, my Dad was a bio-medical photographer by trade, nature photographer by love, my first camera was an OM-1 when I was in the 6th grade. I have forgotten more than I remember, and wish I had more time to shoot (guns and cameras) We moved to digital a few years ago, and that is teaching old dogs new tricks!
Have fun with that new lens... Dad and I love macro... seeing the pollen grains on the bees legs was always fun!
