I haven't always been interested in photography, but here within the last ten years or so it has become a hobby. I started out using my bosses Nikon E5700. A few years ago he upgraded to the Nikon D100. Thats when I really fell in love. It is a great camera. I started looking into purchasing my own camera and in December of 2008 I decided to take the plunge. I now have a Nikon D300 with a 18 - 200mm lens. Although I'm still learning how to use it to it's full potential. If anyone has any tip or tricks they would like to share, feel free to drop me a line.
