If you are a Nikon camera owner and belong to the Nikonians website check out my photography articles. Nikonians.org. Below is a link to a recent article I wrote for the Soundings Journal website about photographing Anna's Hummingbirds.

Introduction
I love the way the camera sees the world, it can be so unique, so different than what is actually there when I take the photograph. My goal is to take photographs that show the world the way I see it, using the unique photographic abilities that I have, the technical abilities of my camera, and my digital darkroom skills to output the best photograph "equivalent" that I can; a photograph that is wholly representative of my vision in photography and art. I am not a documentarian or a photo journalist, I edit, delete, and change as needed. My goal is photographic art and there is no "right" or "wrong" involved in that.
Knight Foundry, in Sutter Creek, CA takes you back a step or two in time. The foundry is “American’s last water-powered foundry and machine shop.” Most everything in the foundry is original to the foundry, although things get moved around and some type of training work is still done in the foundry. The foundry operated in California’s gold rush period, it was established in 1873, and is a testament to the toughness of the people of the day.
From a photographer’s point of view the place is filled with ample opportunity for photographs, from spider-webbed tools to large wheels and pieces of equipment that seem to be oriented toward torture of some kind.
