Hi All.
My name is Brent, but on the www as TattooedMac. Im a Apple Aficionado with 6 Macs in the house including 27" iMac, couple MBP and 1 MBA, original PPC G3 and a iMac DV SE from 2000 (the coloured all in ones with carry handle on top), and they are all in working order.There is 6 iPhones of all description and 2 iPads and iPad Mini Retina. Have the house decked out wirelessly with Airport Express's and TimeCapsule running them all with Apple TV's on 3 HTDV's. Im happy and love my Multimedia as you can tell. Im also a Beta Tester, iOS Developer and a Kickstarter Backer.
Being a budding iOS Developer writing my first App at the moment and hope to have it finished in the 3rd Q of the year. I work from home, being on a Vets Pension, and iOS Developing and Digital Photography keeps me busy.
I got into Digital Photography properly 18 months ago and started out with a D7000. Its was only 3 months ago, that i sold the d7000 and a 70-200mm lens for more than i paid and bought a Nikon D7100.
So my gear list goes like :
Nikon D7100
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR
Nikon AF 50mm f1.8D
Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO DG Macro
Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II
Kenko PRO 300 AF DGX 2.0X Telephoto Converter
Manfrotto 290 (MK293A4 + 494RC2) Tripod
Nikon SB-700 Speed Light
And multiple filters for the Lens
I have been doing a bit of everything when it comes to shooting, Landscapes, Seascapes, Flora and a few Portraits. What really interests me is Light Painting and Night Photography and will be doing a lot more of this in the near future. I have ordered myself a Pixel Stick so i can produce some amazing Light Painting shots, and I'm reading a bit about night photography. I do all this for the enjoyment of it, and hope to have some images published and making me $$, but what really gets me about Digital Photography is the Technical side of it.
Without going and doing a University/Tafe course to teach me things, from day one, i haven't shot a single image in Auto, as i want to learn and know, why this does this, and this does that.
Knowing is knowledge and knowledge is priceless. With the spread of Lenses I have, I believe I'm well on the way of getting into the intricacies of Digital Photography. Its becoming a passion of mine now, and staying with the Apple side of things, I use Aperture with NIK Suite plugins got gifted the OnOne Perfect 8 Suite, and because of my Beta Testing, I have used and written about the MacPhun Products and have their Pro Apps, going me the Aperture Plugins as well.
Im still learning, and still have a heck of a lot to learn, so I'm looking forward to getting into the community, meeting some great people and learning off you all.
