L. Worster Photography

Images of Nature

About

My name is Larry Worster.  I am a retired senior field audio engineer from NBC’s television network.  I have an intense love of nature, which, starting in 1972, led me to landscape photography.  I borrowed my father’s Minolta camera for a couple of months and quickly fell in love with photography.  I gave him back his Minolta and bought my first camera; a Nikon F2. I began taking my camera with me when I traveled to work on televised events. One of the events I worked on was on the Oregon Trail, a perfect place for landscape photography.

 

 I built my first darkroom and started shooting black and white images. I loved the process of shooting the images, taking them to the darkroom, developing the film and printing what I had shot.  This was very satisfying for me.  I kept at that film-based process for many years until transferring to the new world of digital photography. My previous career in audio technology required computer skills which helped me when I moved to digital photography, but I will always miss the darkroom.

 

My first quality digital camera was a Nikon D7000. I went with Nikon because of my years of positive experience with Nikon film cameras and lenses.  I have since moved over to Sony’s photographic equipment.  I use a Sony A7rII camera with an assortment of Sony GM, Canon and Zeiss lenses.  I use RRS tripods and their other equipment along with Singh-Ray and Promaster filters.

 

I do most of my own printing on various papers up to 17×22 inches in size.  For anything larger, I use photo lab companies I trust to handle such requirements.  I also utilize these companies for any printing on metal or glass. For my own work, I usually do my own framing, but I can work with clients on whatever is desired for framing material.

 

If you want a print from my website or have an idea for something you might like me to shoot, contact me, I’d be more than happy to work with you.
