Motion Phorography by Edward Moxley – New Camera Featured Photographer
Took a bunch of photo courses in school, back in the 70s. Of course, they were all B&W film stuff back then. At that time I had a very nice Nikon F2, with a real nice metering system on it, three lenses, and a Honeywell strobe unit with battery, sync cords, etc. After school, I ended up selling everything. Could kick myself for such a stupid move. Went many years without a camera at all. Last year, I told my wife I wanted another good camera. The Nikon D7000 was just coming out, and I liked what I saw, so I bought it with the 18-105mm kit lens. I discovered quickly how much photography I had forgotten over the years. I took a night class in Digital Photography at the local community college, which helped a lot. Now it’s just a matter of practice, practice, practice! I’m just beginning to try and make some kind of a small collection of photos. So, I really don’t have anything to point people towards yet.
Thanks.
