Featured Photographer - July 2010
Nick Koller
My very first photo experience was with a cigar box pin hole camera when I was a
freshman in high school. I was absolutely amazed. I bought my first real camera at
the Navy Exchange in Yokosuka Japan. Although it was a still camera, it used 16
mm movie film. It was about the size of a pack of cigarettes which made it nice for
taking everywhere I went. I used to send the film home to my mother for
processing. On several occasions my film was intercepted by Uncle Sam and
processed to make sure it was not spy related information, My mother would
receive the film, already processed with a note stating that it had been processed
for security reasons. I have had some sort of a camera ever since. I have been
shooting digital for about 6 years.
My main camera today is a Nikon D300. Up until I joined RCC, I used to shoot
mostly snapshots and travel photos. About 3 and a half years ago I read an article
in the newspaper that the Redlands Camera Club was having a Wildlife
photographer, Rick Davitt, in for a presentation on photographing wildlife and the
public was invited, so I came and ended up becoming a member.
My main interest is in photographing wildlife and particularly birds. I have learned
so much about birds, now I don't know which I love most, the Hunt or taking the
photo. Both are really exciting.
