I am a 42-year old husband and father. I was an avid computer gamer and DOF, F-stops and the like were foreign to me until my wife introduced me to photography.

I began shooting during the latter part of March 2010 and quickly became addicted to it. I started this blog to share my journey and to learn along the way. Special thanks to my wife Eng who encouraged me and to all my friends in Blogosphere who shared their knowledge and taught me to further this craft.

"Hey, what is this over there?..." We have a little turtle in an aquarium. If he lived a free life, I suppose his neck would be in this position most of the time! Where did you catch this moment??

Limarea

He's too cute, isn't he? :) Nice pic indeed.

A tricky shot to be sure! Unless this was an outdoor tank that is. And you got him in just the right position too!

Lovely, where was this taken?

I've been by a few times admiring your work and never quite know what to say that I haven't said before so I end up not commenting at all. Your photographic work is amazing.

Wonderful turtle!

Tania

Serline

I'm feeling a pinch in my neck just looking at it ;-)

Kathy

My, Mr. Tutle, what a long neck you have!

Suburban Girl

That extended neck makes it look prehistoric!

Cheryl Kohan

I absolutely LOVE this shot! What a magnificent turtle and you've captured him in all his glory.

Captain Shagrat

Woweeeeee i just love this, so prehistoric looking. He looks rather pleased with himself don't ya think. Like he's saying look at me bozo my kind have been around for a long time so butt out. Hope your not in the tank too he looks a mean bugger

Indrani

Absolutely gorgeous shot!

lol - I'm laughing at my sister's comment (Shagrat). It does look like it wants to be in a movie with Doug McClure in it.
