Hey there! My name is Tina! I'm 21 and from South Jersey! I joined this forum to learn more about photography. It's just a hobby for me, but it is something I really, really enjoy doing! I started shooting at the age of 15 with an s2 Pro. When my dad, who is a photographer, purchased his D700, I convinced him to give me his old D300. I. FELL. IN. LOVE! Needless to say, he is never getting it back! We're definitely a Nikon family, as we currently have a D300, D700 and a D800. I have participated in local and national contests. I have been a featured artist in a local art show, and at the age of 17, I was an assistant photographer to two weddings. My "comfort" lens is the Nikon 18-200mm. And as of recently, I've really started experimenting with different settings and lenses! I mainly shoot cars/automotive and sports. Well, that's pretty much me in a nut shell!
