Native Plants
Baines, James O.
Jim Baines’ interest in photography started on his 18th birthday when he bought his first camera, a Petri eBn 35mm fixed lens rangefinder. He used it for years on black and white then Kodachrome slides (ASA 25). Later, Jim moved up to Nikon SLRs in the early 80’s, Kodak and Sony digitals in early 90’s, and now uses the Nikon D200 Digital SLR with a combination of lenses from 50mm thru 500mm and a Fieldscope EDIII for digiscoping. He has been actively involved in photography since 1960. Having retired in 2007, he spends a lot of time with camera in hand.Jim is a self-taught photographer familiar with many different subjects in all types of environments, lighting and weather conditions. He does most of his shooting in Bell, Coryell and surrounding counties of the Texas Hill Country at various landscapes and points of interest. Jim is partial to rustic, nostalgic scenes, rusty tractors, farm equipment, trucks and old ranch houses. He is especially fond of windmills and only passes them up when there is no place to park safely. In addition to flowers, plants, insects and other nature scenes, he also enjoys shooting weddings, portraits, portfolios, Quinceañeras, sporting events and other special occasions.
More of Jim's images can be seen at Better Photo and Zenfolio.
