Fiat Lux

I am a research scientist....err PhD in progress, who recently rediscovered a love for photography that I had kindled as a youth, but had let wither during college due to a loss of equipment.
I like to try all types of photography and consequently have a small truckload of lenses.
Grew up as a Pentax shooter and still yearn for that old Pentax glass to this day. I had a 50mm f/1.2 that was crazy fast and even crazier sharp. Since college I've been a Canon shooter. I was nearly tempted to go Nikon when I purchased my first DSLR a month ago, but I staid the course and plunked down for a 50D....cwhich if I may say is one hot pice of kit.

I really like wildlife photography from the micro/macro realm up to the super-telephoto animal stock realm. Anyhoo, I plan to use this blog to talk about my favorite images, provide more context for them and any technical aspects that might come into play in the creation of the image. I learn more everyday and I'd like to keep a running log of that learning.
