![Immediately after a thunderstorm the sun came out in time for it to set. The mist came off the grass and everything glowed as if in a movie. I have been watching this scene [my backyard] for weeks waiting for the right moment.](/photos/307652536_bYaNt-Ti.jpg "Immediately after a thunderstorm the sun came out in time for it to set.

![June 22, 2008: My wife and I took a trip to Avon Lake [Cleveland, OH] and while walking along this letter "C" nearly jumped out at me. Or it could be a side view of a bird/animal with a blunt beak. Either way, I thought it was very interesting. Using Lightroom 2.0, I used the new vignette tool to create a more pronounced image.](/photos/317510018_ZHSUP-Ti.jpg "June 22, 2008: My wife and I took a trip to Avon Lake [Cleveland, OH] and while walking along this letter \"C\" nearly jumped out at me.

![My first shot from the Pittsburgh Airshow 2008. I took this during their practice runs. The weather was poor [off and on rain] and the sky very gray. I added the frame to give it some impact.

Your Bio
I live in Chippewa Twp. (Beaver County), PA. I have been playing with photography since high school graduation (1974) but never had anything more than a manual film body and a 50mm lens until the digital age. Due to processing cost I never experimented with the art of photography.
In 2001 I purchased a Sony f707 and it rekindled my interest in photography. In Dec. 2006 I purchased my first dSLR and my passion for photography grows daily.
I enjoy natural light photography and photoshop to tell a story. I recently began utilizing lightroom and find it an amazing program for processing images.
I now shoot RAW and find the latitude RAW provides an amazing benefit over JPG only (my opinion).
I volunteer for event photography at our Church (Victory Family Church) and find it to be an amazing and fulfilling "hobby" & passion. I attempt to shoot at least 1-10 images daily. Some week(ends) bring many opportunities to shoot up to 1000 images of multiple events. Other week(s) only handful daily due to life's responsibilities.
Currently, I shoot with a Nikon D200 and use lightroom to 'process' my images. My email is: frank at kendralla dot com.
