I was introduced to photography by a friend, who was a Nikon Devotee, some 50 years ago.<\/p>

Because I had a young family growing up,\u00a0 I bought what I could afford, a Praktica SLR, which, for me, was a massive leap from the box brownie I was using.<\/p>

I used this camera for a number of years, until I was forced to give up photography through cataracts.\u00a0 When the operation became available to cure this malady, I gladly went under the knife to have my sight restored.<\/p>

By that time we had entered the digital age and I started with a beginners camera, a Nikon D90.\u00a0 I very quickly outstripped that camera’s capability and bought a Nikon D5300, together with a number of lenses as my skills grew.<\/p>

Finally, after carting all these lenses around for a number of years, I bit the bullet and part exchanged the lot for a Nikon D750, keeping my Tamron 600mm lens, my Nikon 18-300mm lens and my Nikon 105 mm macro lens.\u00a0 I also own a Nikon 85mm prime lens, a gift from my sister.<\/p>

I will photograph anything I think will make a picture and while I enjoy most genres of photography\u00a0 I have steered clear of wedding\u00a0 and portraiture photography, as I’ve found that the demands made of me by the people I was photographing changed my pastime into a chore.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Update:\u00a0 I have now moved away from the cheaper end of Nikon’s lenses and now have Prime lenses with the exception of the Nikon 70-200 mm flagship lens.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
