I'm generally delighted when people use my photographs under the Creative Commons by-nc-sa license. "Photo by Glen K. Peterson" is the appropriate credit. If you find that license too restrictive, just tell me what you are planning and ask for more rights and we can work something out. I always love to see the finished result!


Most pictures are taken with a Nikon D50. My oldest shots are slide scans. The medium-old ones are taken with a Nikon Coolpix 885.

Lenses used (in decreasing order of usage):

- Nikon Nikkor 60mm f2.6 macro (1/1). Pin-sharp at f11 and just perfect at everything that it does. I probably use this lens the most, especially with 68mm of extension tubes!

- Nikkor 24-85 f2.8-4 - It's not as sharp as the Nikkor 60mm, but the quality is still very good and the zoom feature is so handy that this is rapidly becoming my most used lens.

- Tamron 28-70mm f3.5-4.5. I just replaced this lens with the Nikkor 24-85 f2.8-4. It just wasn't a very sharp lens and all the movable parts were loose.

- Nikon 70-210mm f4-5.6. This lens is nice for the money but tends to produce some weird cyan/magenta highlights on back-lit subjects at 210mm. It's fairly sharp, but could be better. I wish it had a rotating tripod mount on this lens!

- 500mm f18 fully manual lens with a minimum focusing distance of 10 meters. Connecting it to my D50 turns off the light meter so I have to make test shots to get the exposure right. I made a wooden harness to keep it steady and provide a better mounting point for the tripod (it never had a tripod collar).

- Manual Nikon speedlight flash
