Equipment

Update: October 26th, 2008

I must admit a couple of years ago, I was not too keen of photography. Because of my lack of interest back then, my first camera was a disposable camera. That was just after I moved to Canada. I found it to be an interesting “hobby” so I purchased an early generation digital camera. However, I did not took that many pictures with it and, when finally decided to start again (2007), I found out it was broken. Oh, well. Since this time I wanted to commit myself to go out and take pictures, I went for broke (not 100% true, but you get the point) and purchased a dSLR. So, without further ado, here is my current setup:

Camera: Nikon D40

Lenses:

  1. AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II
  2. AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 55-200mm f4.5-5.6G ED VR

Post-processing: Apple Aperture

For memory, I use Sandisk SDHC flash cards; other usual gear include a mini-tripod and a regular sized tripod.

Now, I will not discuss/argue as to which is better, Nikon or Canon, or my “lock” to Nikon due to its lenses. It was something I was researching and decided to jump into it. Anyway, I started using post-processing recently and I must say it is a day/night type difference.

Having said all that, below is a sample of pictures I have taken.
