Welcome to my gallery.
About me
As a photographer, I am brand agnostic, owning both Canon, Nikon, and other gear. From an old Canon F series film SLR with a bunch of manual focus lenses and a Panasonic P&S to my current Nikon gear.
In the DSLR world, my decision to stay with Nikon is that the ergonomics of their SLR range is as good as it gets, a lot easier and more intuitive than the others, plus the lenses are backward compatible (the non-DX lenses, at least) with my Nikon film cameras.
My kit:
A trusty Nikon D70 with 28-105 AF-D, 35mm 1.8, and 55-200VR lenses (plus a few taken with a borrowed Tamron 70-300). Most of the newer shots on my gallery are from this camera.
I prefer using one set of Cokin filters for all the lenses (using the P-series mount).
A Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash.
Joe Demb Big Flip-It! Diffuser. Absolutely a must-have for portrait shots indoors *and* out.
All neatly packed into a
Kata 3N1-20 Sling bag.
My small calibre weapon is a Panasonic Lumix LZ2. A few years old now, but with 5 megapixels and a fairly good glass and zoom, I find it handy enough for most daylight shooting. It is good in low ISO but could fare better in low light. Flash and night photos are average and as expected from what it is.
Old school - Nikon F90/N90, yep, FILM, still a weapon of choice when I want outright quality. Ammo (Film) of choice? Fuji Velvia 100. Yes, slide film. Ken Rockwell calls this "Real RAW", and I agree, there's nothing like it.
That's it for now, please feel free to
