Ronald Saumure's photostream  

I've been into photography for over 30 years now, starting with film Pentax SPII SLR and then my Nikon F65, and slowly converting to Digital in my 50's. My love for photography is mostly Nature Photography.

I appreciate the comments, good or bad. I want to improve my photography everyday, however I'm not a full time photographer. I also have a family at home. This gives me little time to pick up my photography equipment, and to run to the trails for the day shooting everything in sight.

I hope those of you who see my pictures, comment on what you see. They inspire me to do more, and be more creative.

My family gives me the little freedom to explore my world with my camera. I hope your does too.

There are billions more pictures to take, I hope I see them all.

Je fais de la photographie depuis plus de 30 ans maintenant. J'ai commencé par la pellicule avec ma Pentax SPII SLR et puis ma Nikon F65, et je me suis converti lentement au numérique. Mon amour de la photographie se tourne la plupart du temps vers la nature.

J'apprécie les commentaires, bon ou mauvais. Je cherche continuellement à améliorer ma photographie de quelque manière que ce soit, mais je ne suis pas un photographe à plein temps. J'ai également une famille à la maison. Ça me laisse peu de temps pour attraper mon équipement de photographie et passer la journée à parcourir les sentiers pour tout saisir sur le vif.

J'espère que vous prendrez le temps de commenter mes photos. Ces commentaires m'inspirent et m'incitent à en faire plus et à être plus créatif.

Ma famille me donne un peu de liberté pour explorer mon monde avec mon appareil photo. J'espère que la vôtre le fait aussi.

Il y a des milliards d'autres photos à prendre, j'espère les voir toutes.

These are my best photos:
