This page shows some of the interesting things I have photographed, mostly in my old neighborhood, but in other places too.

Hardware

All the photos here were taken either with my Nikon D40, or my Nikon D5300.

I have three and 1/2 lenses and accessories:

  • A Nikon 18-135mm Zoom (which came with the camera)
  • A Sigma 70-300mm Zoom
  • A Sigma 150-500mm Zoom
  • A Sigma 1.4x Teleconverter (not really a lens so it gets 1/2 billing!
  • A set of Hoya Close-up lenses (+1, +2, +4 diopers)

Nikon ViewNX2 or Capture NX-D were used to adjust the images taken in NEF (RAW) format; Photoshop Elements was used to tweak the images for sizing and labels.
