I have been tinkering with digital photography for a couple of years now. I am challenged more by technology than I am by the actual photography. I have a new web-site, a new account on Flickr and I am still trying to figure out Facebook. I tried Twitter and gave up. I look forward to tracking my progress in this blog and look forward to any comments you may have.
I started my real dive into photography using a Nikon D50 with a couple of Sigma lenses. I bought a Sigma 15-50mm f2.8 and a Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 lens. This was a great starter set. I replaced the D50 and gave it to her to begin her obsession, but did not realize I had worn out the electronics. I bought her a D90 as a replacement using all of my original lenses.
My kit now includes a Nikon D300 bought at a good discount right before the D300s came onto the market. I already have a digital video recorder so no need for that function on my DSLR. My lenses no include a Sigma 15-50mm f2.8 with optical stabilization, a Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 and a Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 with vibration reduction. I also use a Nikon Speedlight SB-600 for flash. I have a couple of odds and ends like a Sigma 1.4x teleconverter, a Manfrotto tripod and ball head. Next up a simple studio lighting kit.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy following along. I particularly like sports, action and nature photography. I am beginning to work on portrait photography and I am working on my digital workflow. Right now I am using mostly Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0. I use Front Page to post my website but will be changing to Dreamweaver CS5 soon enough.
