photography

My interest in photography started when I was 8 years old with my first 110 cartridge camera. In high school I took photography classes which I loved. I later joined the high school yearbook and was photography editor my senior year. I now take pictures of family, travel, and animals.

I started shooting with a 35 mm Nikon F3 camera then upgraded to an F100 for fast autofocus. The Fuji Finepix S2 Pro digital SLR gave me fabulous pictures at 8 x 10 inches but did not have a fast enough burst frame rate to keep up with the kids. I used the Nikon D2x for about eight years before upgrading to a Nikon D4. It is fast and has amazing pictures. Resolution is equivalent to 35 mm film. Most recently I am using the Nikon Z mirrorless system with precapture that changes the ability to capture sports and animals in action. Since moving to digital photography my pictures have certainly improved.
