I have been an amateur photographer since 2007.

I started with Flickr February 2009 and fell in love with it. I enjoy all the creative works, from amateur to professional photographers, that Flickr has to offer.

I appreciate the great outdoors and the beauty that nature lends us.

I have a Canon EOS 7D and a Rebel T1i SLR cameras.
I have the following Canon lenses:
EFS 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
EFS 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
EF 50mm f/1.8II photography.
150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS telephoto lens by Sigma
11-16mm F2.8 AT-X 116Pro DX Aspherical by Tokina
70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Telephoto lens by Canon
77mm Hoya Pro1 Circular Polarizer fliter

I use Manfrotto Mono/Tri pods with Manfrotto midi ball head.

I appreciate your opinions on my amateur status and will take constructive criticism to heart. That will hopefully make me a better shutterbug.

Good luck and clear shooting to one and all at Flickr!

The Orca Whale is my favorite sea creature. Hence my pseudonym Orka. I used the Slavic spelling of the whale. Korak is Slavic for step. The step signifies my entry into amateur photography. A whale of a step!

    Alda Tita says:

    "I "meet" Orkakorak about 6 months ago and I have been stunned by the quality and diversity of his gallery. Each time you have a new flow of brand superb shots!
    He has a gift for lighting and atmosphere, almost transforming his photographs into stories.
    It is always a real pleasure Orkakorak and I hope to see a lot more of your pictures soon!!"

    I'm on a learning curve!! says:

    "Aaah!!

    Orkakorak!!

    If you guys have read his profile... you would know... his profile name implies..."A whale of a step". :) And he was referring to the step he took to join flickr.

    And what a step it was. :) :) :) I don't know how to say it in slavic... but I have to say this to you Orkakorak... I have a whale of a time at your stream. :)

    And friends... you know what seperates Orka's stream from the many run of the mill streams on flickr ... the affection with which he captures the pics. :)

    It's like each pic is talking to you... With each one Orka is telling you a story with each one of them. Be it a simple pic of a dog playing in a stream or a romantic path winding down the woods. Wet leaves dripping with rain water or White gulls diving for the kill.

    Each pic, each series, has something to tell you. And that makes his pics... memorable. :)

    Isn't that what we all want our pics to be?? ... "Memorable" ??

    Orkakorak... here's wishing you many many clickalicious years to come!! :)"
