Welcome to my photography blog. I'll be posting my favorite pictures, and links to gear and techniques.
I've been using a borrowed Nikon D70s body and Nikon 18-55mm DX f/3.5-5.6 GII ED lens. I've been away from SLR's for about 15 years. My first SLR was a Yashica FR-1 with a 50mm f/2 lens, and a 200mm lens, with a motor drive. Fun camera, and a nice light meter built inside. My next 35mm was a Canon Rebel back in 1995, which we used only for a few years until the digital point-n-shoot craze.
I've grown tired of the point-n-shoot (PnS) experience, and have been yearning for the SLR experience again, so have jumped back in with the borrowed D70s. I have an old 1GB Compact Flash memory card that will hold about 300 Jpegs or 180 RAW format shots. Ken Rockewell's website has been a great place to learn just what this great 6MP camera can pull off fantastically (and yes, 6MP is plenty for some great photos!). Ken's website is also good to do some comparing for purchasing something a bit more modern (D5300 ?) and some lens recommendations. Reasons to upgrade? Bigger LCD for these presbyopic old eyes of mine! The Wifi is pretty nice, too, for uploading immediately to Instagram or Facebook.
Here's to some fun years to come!
