I did have to send my work to someone who was doing image enhancing because I didn't know how to use PS.

Now.. I get so nit-picky with my settings. Because I'm doing my own editing and ffs shit takes forever. Lol

Still trying to learn how to do HDR but this layering stuff is already tough enough for me. haha I'm even having Ichi help me make a watermark for myself so the restaurant photos I take don't get stolen.

But wedding photography is good money. How much were you getting paid for your talent?

Either way, I'm glad to be here. I'm the former Style Editor for Subiesport Magazine when it was still around, and have been doing professional automotive photography since 2004. Currently, I'm a Senior Editor for NWMotiv.com and do a lot of photography for them, mostly shooting motorsports and feature articles. I photograph weddings on the side, but will also do portraits and just about anything else for fun. I also do a little freelance event photography for The Seattle Weekly. Here are a few links to my work:

For a cropped sensor, the 24-70 range really isn't quite as useful as the 16-35's range. On the Nikon side, we have a 17-55 for the DX cropped sensor and it's absolutely excellent...I used to own it before I to full frame. I know that Canon has a 17-55 as well, but I'm not very familiar with it, other than it being a non-L lens.

If you do plan to eventually move to full frame sensor, the 24-70 might be the better choice though.

Mmmm... Yea I plan on moving to a FF but canon and their prices. Hah. /sad sad face..

I'll pick one up soon. But for the time being.. just upgrading glasses as I go. Then I can sell my current camera and buy a new one. Nooby camera is newby.

I'm into photography, I'm keeping as a hobby now, after 3 years of doing motorsports photography every weekend it was stopping being fun. I did get shots run in Autosport and Motorsport News though.

These days I mainly shoot cars, landscapes and travel.
