Surprisingly, when you retire you tend slacken off a little (who’d have thought?). Things you should do today will still be there tomorrow, and the next day, and next week. Don’t believe me? Ask MBH (my better half).
Most weeks I spend two or three days wandering around with a camera. I enjoy nature, wildlife and photography. It has become my retirement thing. Of course, it also means lots (and lots) of images, many of them destined for, and deserving of, the delete button. But what about the survivors? They do end up on this website, usually when I’m overcome by a burst of enthusiasm to process and post them or in my monthly “Latest” Post.
So how did I get to this point in life? I don’t know about you but I’ve found life often gives us itches, usually when we’re too busy to scatch them. My biggest itch since retiring in 2019 has been photography. Initially armed with Pentax K3 iii with 24 megapixels (an excellent DSLR), and plenty of spare time during covid. That’s when this journey (obsession?) began. I’ve since added an OM1 ii camera (mirrorless) and couldn’t be happier. The lighter weight, extensive (wildlife) shooting features, weather-proof build, and excellent image quality has given me the freedom to find new and better ways to scratch this itch of mine.
