About Me
I purchased my first DSLR back in January 2008 and I have since become completely enamored with photography. I enjoy the gear, the processing, the photos, and especially the actual traveling.
I am looking into different options to have my eyes upgraded to robot eyes, and sometime in the near future I am possibly going to get metal legs for traveling. I am pretty much interested in all types of photography that does not involve setting up studio type lighting, but I wouldn’t mind getting into that if I were to be paid either. I usually end up with more shots of scenery and architecture during my travels, but mostly because I feel like a creep taking random shots of locals out and about without asking for their permission.
I can spend hours going through photos on Flickr and use what I find to hone my technique, get creative ideas, and learn the technical details that seem to work best in certain situations.
My Gear:
Nikon D700
Nikkor 14-24 f2.8 G ED
Nikkor 16-35mm f4G ED VR
Nikkor 50mm f1.8D
Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 G ED VR
Kenko Macro Tubes
Nikon SB-600
Benro C-258M8 Tripod
Bogen/Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod
Acratech GV2 Ballhead
RRS B2-Pro/L Clamp
Dakine Mission Photopack
CP, ND, and Grad Filters
Robot Eyes
I am from Happy Valley, Utah and currently reside in Alliance, Ne.
Very nice camera work! I’ve always taken pictures with cheap cameras and just became interested in stepping up to a high-end setup. Thanks for listing your equipment. I’ll definitely include it in my research – not to mention the D300 you also mentioned.
Keep up the great work!
Regards,
Hutch

You’ve got some pretty outstanding photos here. I’ve been looking through them, and couldn’t help but be impressed so much I felt compelled to compliment you on some grand work.
I only recently purchased a Nikon D60, my first DSLR, and I’m slowly learning this and that, but I’ve already impressed myself with a few things I can do. Looking at your photos here though, even the ones you took with the D40, I can see I have a LONG way to go in learning my style and technique.

Thank you very much! It has been really fun to learn about photography through trial and error since I first purchased that D40. The picture quality of the D40 is every bit as good as my D80, just a little easier to get it to do what you want. I am sure the D60 wouldn’t disappoint either.
Let me know if you ever post your photos on flickr or to a blog and I will surely check them out.

You need to write home more often, stop taking pictures and write your mother.
Candice has a bumper sticker on her car it reads: “Love Your Mother”.
(catchy don’t you think?)

Abi,
Thanks for all the tips and insights on how to improve my photo skills. They came in handy during my Thailand vacation. Setting up my Flickr account now. Hard part is deciding what pics are good enough to upload. LOL.
Small world so hopefully we’ll cross paths again. Cheers.
