My name is Phil and I live in the US. I have 2 daughters and a wife and have been married for 25 years. I have been doing photography since for 30 years. I started out in film with a Nikon FG and still have that camera. I am somewhat new to the whole digital thing and even newer to HDR. I have only being doing digital for about 8 years or so. My love for Photography stems from my dad, God rest his soul, who was in advertising and used the camera for his profession. He could work magic with film. I only wish I had his art skills. Anyway, I hope to improve on my HDR skills. I learn something just about everyday about HDDR and photography in general. One of my friends, whom you all know post's regularly on this site. He encourages me when my pictures aren't quite up to par to keep on plugging away. I thank him for that.
