Hi !
First of all, a warm welcome to my site !
I will share with you my passion for photography. My main work is bird, nature and landscape and infrared photography, not to forget also macrophotography.
I switched directly from manual focus (Nikon F3HP ans some others...) to digital without bridging with film autofocus ! The curve was tough for me after 28 years of loyalty to film.
Started with a D70 and manual focus lenses, I did understand that I needed to switch to autofocus pretty quickly ! And then I traded my D70 for a D200 with MB-D200 ! What a move that I don't regret ! Since then, I added some very sharp Sigma lenses and the fabulous Nikkor 70-200 VR.
Plus, I had the opportunity, from one of my friend, to buy a used D2X. What a camera ! I also traded a barely used D50 with my old but in great shape Nikkor 80-200 f:2.8 AF-D ; then sold it and bought a D70s used that had only 350 shots ! I will use it primarily for infrared shots with a Cokin 007 filter and as a point and shoot camera for family and traveling...
I now use a D800E ; a pure JEWEL ! The images that comes out of this camera are absolutely TERREFIC !
Now my material consists of :
