I am impressed. Some great shots!

I currently have:

Nikon D200

Nikon AF Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5- 5.6G ED DX
Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR II
Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR

I am currently in the process of getting rid of the D200 and all of the lenses, except for the 70-200mm 2.8, and replacing them with/adding:

Nikon D300
Nikon D3

(making the D300 my backup)

Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70 f/2.8G ED

Then eventually adding:

Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR
Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4D
Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E II

I also have these but they don't really count. ;D

Apple iPhone
Canon PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Elph
Nikon Coolpix 4600

PapaNoHair · Mar 2, 2008

No criticism whatsoever - enjoyed all of them but especially the first one and the bridge scene. You did a very good job. Thanks for sharing your talent.

WonderMike · Mar 2, 2008

Thank you for thinking it is a talent...LOL

It is a dream come true. I have worked long and hard to be able to finally (after 15 years) be able to get equipment of this caliber. You will get there to just keep on working hard!

WonderMike · Mar 2, 2008

Yea working on it...When I get the equipment then I just have to learn how to take some good pics...LOL

Your not doing to bad so far. I have seen people with all of the best equipment that don't have "the eye" for photography. Even though they have the best equipment, their pictures have no content.....

Yea I have seen that too...one of the guys I shoot with around here has a D2xs I think and he has the knowledge as far as all the settings go but he always gets ****** at me because I get these crazy angles that he doesnt see....
