Welcome to Behind the Digital Lens. It's nothing fancy; just a blog about my adventures taking photos, along with some links to some photos I have taken. My name is Jason Scott, and I am an amateur digital photographer who is still - and always - learning. Currently I live in Silver Springs, Florida with Roby Lincoln R Scott - a Schnorkie, who was born 12/22/2020 [all those twos!]. Roby [long "o"] joined my family on February 21st, 2021 [those twos again!] and life hasn't been the same since! Because I am disabled and have little money, I don't get the chance to travel much, so I have to take photos of things around me in the near vicinity of where I live. I guess I could say that being behind my camera is where I feel most comfortable. I take a lot of photos, many of them could be deleted, I suppose, but most of them I keep because I can learn from them.
[The photo that you see on this page is not of Roby but of my little Maltese Lexie Startbright, who passed away late last year after a courageous battle with renal failure - she lived nearly two years with it and only showed signs of decline the last month of her life. Lexie left behind me, her mom, and her step-dad and we miss her tremendously. Shine on, Lexie, shine on!]
I used to use a Nikon D3000, with two lenses, but in November 2020 I acquired a Nikon Coolpix P950 thanks to a very kind friend. Well, actually, I still use the D3000 and I have a third lens which is a macro lens. I don't "do" photos of people, at least, not very often, so my photos are mostly nature, landscapes, and sunrises and sunsets, pets, and now, occasionally, the moon. I also enjoy taking black and white photos, especially of dogs. (For me, dogs are a bit more cooperative than cats, so I don't get very many cat photos.) I got my Nikon D3000 camera in October 2009 after my Canon PowerShot Pro1 camera suddenly died on me [what an awesome camera it was!]. Less than a week after getting the camera, and with very little experience with it, I took in an airshow at Alliance Airport in Fort Worth, Texas. I got the usual standard photos, but I managed to get one amazing photo which was literally a stroke of luck. I barely saw it on the view screen and couldn't figure out how to show it to others. Now that I know the camera a bit more, I would bet I could never get that photo again!
Don't forget to check out my other links found in the upper left of this page, and the right hand side of my blog page.
So, here is my blog, Behind the Digital Lens, with links to other areas of photos or sites of interest to me. I hope that you enjoy. If you'd like to send me a comment, or ask a question, feel free to email me at
