Hey all,
I'm from Camden NSW and have been perusing photography for nearly ten years as a hobby. I lean strongly toward Landscape photography, and have always had a fascination with Astro but not really the time or organisation to get out to the right place and shoot some.
I've been shooting on a Canon 7D for the whole time, and have literally just this week stepped up to a full-frame body finally. The interesting thing, after much research and deliberation I have moved over to a Nikon system, and purchased a D810 and 14-24mm lens. I'm keeping the 7D and array of lenses for my wife to try and convince her to come shoot with me every now and then, but i'll be starting again with my lenses for the D810.
I purchased a 150-600mm Sigma Contemporary which arrives this week, which should allow me to have some fun with Wildlife and the annual Wings over Illawarra air show. I know it's not top end glass, but as I said it's for some fun and the ability to get some shots I couldn't otherwise get. I unfortunately had to sell my Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS ii to help fund the change of system, which was hands down my favourite lens. But I couldn't justify holding onto it obviously.
I'm researching filter systems that will fit the 14-24mm (150mm size) as I have to leave behind all my Lee filters (100mm). So far I'm thinking about the Haida 150mm system and a mix of filters, but we'll see.
Anyway, i'm keen to have more of a look around the forums and hopefully chat to a few of you, if anyone has any advice or wants to say hello please do.
Thanks all!
James.
