Hi all,
I bumped into a fellow Nikonite today and he pointed me in this direction.
Seems an awesome place to be a part of.
I have come from a background of astronomy/astrophotography to pursue my interest in terrestrial photography.
Astronomy is amazing but very weather dependent - I feel general photography gives me so much more freedom.
So I sold the majority of my astronomy gear bar one or two telescopes to pursue this hobby with the hope that I may eventually make it a career (may as well enjoy what you do right?!).
I love all areas of photography and am a firm believer of gaining experience in as many areas as possible.
I especially love landscape photography but am assisting upcoming models with their portfolios.
Having recently acquired the D800, I'm blown away by the resolution. I'm a bit of a pixel peeper so enjoy a high res photo on the screen.
Current gear:
Cameras: D800 and D7100
Prime Lenses: Nikon 35mm 1.8G, Nikon 50mm 1.8G, Nikon AF-S 85mm 1.8D, Nikon 300mm f4, Tokina 100mm Macro
Zoom Lenses: Nikon 28-70mm 2.8, Nikon 70-200mm 2.8G VR II, Tokina 11-16mm 2.8
Teleconverter: TC-14E II
My next lens will probably be the Nikon 14-24mm 2.8 for landscapes and wide angle astrophotography.
I look forward to sharing some knowledge and experiences on the forum.
Feel free to send me a PM should you wish to talk about anything.
Cheers everyone.
