| HOME |  My 35 year background as a corporate pilot has afforded me the time to pursue other business interests. In 1977, my brother Tom and I started Berg Brothers Logging, cutting saw timber and veneer logs throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. In 1987, I started a new business, Bergs Craftsmanship In Wood, handcrafting custom furniture and built-in cabinetry throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
A 2005 trip to Yellowstone National Park changed me in a profound way. While there, I was bitten with the photography bug. Since then I have upgraded my Nikon camera equipment and have honed my printing skills via workshops with Nature Photographer John Shaw, master printer Andrew Darlow, and the Epson Print Academy. We have recently renovated our cabinetry showroom into a combination furniture showroom and Canvas Gallery. See our Canvas Printing section for our entire range of printing services.
Our Digital Darkroom A long-time Nikon enthusiast, I have been shooting with the D2XS and the D300, both 12MP bodies. My most-used lenses for wide angle are the 14-24mm f/2.8 and 24-70mm f/2.8. I use the superb 200mm VR f/2, 70-200mm VR f/2.8 and 200-400mm f/4 for longer range wildlife photography. My computer, a MacPro with 30” HD monitor, is a super-fast machine set up specifically for photography with two 500GB hard drives and a 1TB hard drive for backups. Post processing is accomplished with Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop CS4. Panoramic shots are processed with AutoPano Pro and HDR (High Dynamic Range) photographs are processed with Photomatrix Pro. Scanning is done with an Epson V750 Pro with Digital Ice Technology™ to remove scratches and dust. Printers are Epson Stylus 3800 Pro, 7900 Pro, and Stylus Pro 9900. The 3800 prints 17” widths, the 7900 does 24” widths, and the 9900 does 44" widths. |
