Gregg L Cooper's photostream  

Ok first of all, if you have seen my photostream you notice an overly abundant amount of Disneyland images...I am a certified DIsneyland nut, and don't apologize for it, haha! Besides, living so close as I do, how can anyone resist the never-ending beautiful subject matters there?

Photography has been a hobby of mine, or integral with other hobbies of mine since I was a kid with a 110 instamatic.
My first "real" camera was a 35mm Minolta XD-7, a gift from my mom and dad for my 16th birthday. That XD-7 served me well for 20 years and saw many airshows, hunting trips, and vacations until I replaced it with a 35mm Canon EOS with, "GASP"....autofocus!

Eventually, digital photography took over and I began using a slew of "PowerShot" style cameras from Olympus, and Canon until I could afford a decent SLR. This also initiated the Photoshop learning experience haha!

Recently I discovered the joy of post-processing in the digital realm and and most notably HDR photography. I have been very busy lately learning what I can of HDR photography and my photostream reflects that!

I also enjoy sports photography, especially my two son's baseball and soccer games as they have grown. It has been a real joy phtographing them at play through the years. My youngest is a sophomore in high school and plays on the baseball team, so early winter through late spring here in California are full time baseball activities...

I am just a photo-hobbyist / dad having fun with a few new techniques!
