[QUOTE="nmccamy, post: 217711, member: 17094"] Jake, You are right on! Absolutely! I am a perfectionist and that is a problem. I know that I must rent the gear and evaluate it myself before I will be happy. That's just me! I rate myself as a professional photographer, only because I have made a living at it. It does not mean that I'm a good photographer. So, in my opinion, my talent can't even come close to the perfectionism I seek. I'm also a computer engineer, and that discipline has caused me to evolve into a very detail oriented thinker. I admit I have psychological problems, and my wife reminds me of that everyday! ;) When it comes right down to it, my ultimate goal is to make people more aware of our natural resources and wildlife. I have had, and will continue to have, fun delivering this message, via, photographs. And now, more specifically, I plan on creating high-def photos, something I have never done. And I have made the switch to Nikon, at least in my head! I have rented Nikon gear, and was very impressed compared to Canon which I have used for decades. But, right now I do not own a camera, unless you want to consider my $18 cell phone! I've always been an odd duck. Everywhere I've ever been, in every stage of my life, I've always been aware of how different I am. Am I strange and eccentric? My experience tell me yes! If my wife reads this, she will agree is spades! :D Oh, and about the computer gear requirements. I have built all of my computers through the years, and have experimented around with 216 MP files, and that won't be a problem. [/QUOTE]
