Hello. Bonjour. Thanks for visiting my website and Photostream.
Sunset Surfer
I am an amateur photographer currently using a Nikon SLR D300 digital camera and am an avid Photoshop CS5 user. I like to enhance my photos in LAB colour space and use layers and masks. Currently I am using Fractalius, Nik Silver Efex Pro, Topaz, and textured blending modes. My favourite lenses are the Nikkor VR 18-200, the Nikkor 10-24 mm wide angle, and the 60 mm Nikkor macro. I have been interested in photography since I was a kid and had a Brownie box camera with Kodak black and white film. The underwater images were taken with a Nikonos III and Honeywell strobe some years ago in the Grand Cayman Islands, Hawaii, and off the coast of British Columbia and Washington State in my scuba diving days. I am a member of NAPP and have attended 2 Photoshop World Conferences. I am a rookie at web sites like Flickr and appreciate any comments positive or negative to help me improve my photos. In my real life I am a family doctor.
Many of the images I see on Flickr are amazing, cool, and creative. I have much to learn from what I see and strive to always improve my images by learning from you and other photographers. I thank many of my Flickr friends from whom I have learned a lot (Eudald, Jimmy, Jane, GG, Breece, Miranda. George, Von, Cat and many others). I don't pretend to be an artist, I like to have fun with photography, and experiment with lots of different shots and creations. I like impressionism and am a Claude Monet wannabe. Sometimes I will do alternate photos that seem out of character.
Photoshop is my digital darkroom.

"John is a great talent. His attractive use of colour and natural eye for composition, make for some very wonderfully put together images. I always enjoy seeing what new photo's he has posted, and learning what I can from his stream.
-Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind"26th June, 2008
