For those of you who are interested in the equipment that I use, this page is for you. I chose Nikon equipment for my photography because of the quality and wide range of lenses and accessories. Another major concern was how it felt in MY hands. I always suggest that equipment should be selected based upon the completeness of the line. Most manufacturer's provide good quality cameras and general lenses, but you never know where your vision will lead you. You may decide that birds are your passion and need a super long telephoto. Or maybe the intricacies of the close-up world is to your liking and you need macro equipment. You definitely do not want to change horses in mid-stream.
