Hi, My name is John Haide and I live in Hillsboro, Oregon. I am retired and work part time and am enjoying the time that leaves me to explore my photography interests.
I am using an Olympus E-510 digital SLR which I purchased last year. I use the 14-42 and 40-150 kit lenses along with the 70-300 tele zoom and the ex-25 extension tube.
I also have photos I took from my two previous digital cameras, the Olympus C-700UZ and SP-500UZ. I still use the SP-500 and gave the C-700 to my son to use.
Before digital I used a Minolta X-700 system with a number of lenses for quite some time also.
I enjoy taking walks around my area and capturing photos close to home as well as while hiking, camping, backpacking and kayaking. My interests include nature, wildlife, landscape and closeup photos.
If you would like to purchase prints of any of the photos you see in my galleries, contact me at jwhaide@verizon.net
