I like to photograph nature, especially landscapes and wildlife. I also dabble in street, architecture and travel photography.

Main Camera:

Nikon Z5 Mirrorless

Back-up Camera (for Street & Travel):

Nikon D5100 DSLR

Lenses:

1. NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3

This is a kit lens that comes with the Nikon Z5 and is a light, compact, take-anywhere travel lens which makes it very versatile. However, it is slow and often requires high ISO support and hence not a very good choice in low light.

2. AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

My favourite lens for street & travel.

3. AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

My general purpose travel lens.

4. AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR

My telephoto zoom lens for birding and wildlife.

Macro Filters:

Raynox DCR-150 Macro conversion lens

Previously Owned Lenses:

a. AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR

b. AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
