Went out to the SF Zoo and put the camera through a workout...

Welcome to my blog. As you can probably tell I shoot a Sony Alpha 200 DSLR. I am an old Minolta film camera user and since the lenses were compatible, I took the Sony plunge. I'm learning all about digital photography, post processing, and am trying to improve my skills.

This is one of the first macro shots I took with my new camera. Minolta 100 2.8 macro, ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/160...

My Buddy Wayne and I went out and did some shooting around the area. Playing with black & white. Shot from Treasure Island, late in the day. Sony A200 Minolta 70-210 f4 @ 1/60 f/20 ISO 400
