Welcome! This website features photos I’ve captured of just about anything and everything that catches my eye. I particularly enjoy land and seascapes, sunrises and sunsets, and sports photography. I also enjoy creating portraits of people of all ages. Most importantly, I hope to preserve precious memories.

In addition, I am available to photograph families and special events, and would welcome that opportunity. For contact information click on:

Dick Francis Photography

In my pursuit of images I primarily use Canon 5D Mk III and Canon 30D DSLR cameras. Lenses for my Canons include:

Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 II USM
Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8L II USM
Canon EF 50mm f1.4
Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 IS II USM
Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6
Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro
Sigma DC 18-125mm f3.5-5.6
Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 Super Wide Angle
Sigma 28-300 mm f3.5-6.3 DG Macro

I also use a point and shoot Sony DSC-P200 digital camera and an iPhone 5 which have allowed me to capture a few of the images you will see here.

As with any skill, photography requires time, effort, study, patience, practice and the ability to use an array of tools, both sophisticated and unsophisticated. As far as I'm concerned, this will be a lifelong endeavor. I hope you enjoy the fruit of my efforts.

Because photography is primarily about preserving memories, I wish to leave you with this poignant thought:

“When you remember me, it means you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.” ― Frederick Buechner

Best wishes, Dick
