I have been reading some of the post and noticed no one is using Nikon Capture. I may have missed one... I shoot NEF + jpeg, if I don't open my NEF file with capture then I've lost a lot of image due to the horizontal compression with nikon. The size difference of the final image is very appealing to photo editors.

Advice: Don't listen to Rod.

My how things have changed. I don't have either of these bodies anymore. Now have the E-520 and E-30 both with battery grip. Sold the 14-42 kit, Sigma and 14-54 I. Replaced with the Oly ZD 14-54 II and Oly ZD 70-300. Have set up studio and so far have two Vivitar 285HV stobes and two AB 800s. Various light modifying apparatus'. Editing using PS CS4

Photos: My Photobucket Page (just upgraded to Pro!)

Brand: Nikon (the good stuff)

Body: D80

Lenses: Standard Nikkor fare

Other equipment: Nikon SD200 Flash, Cheap tripod, Pelican case, 2 kayaks, a little bit of vision, and one big imagination.

Editing software: Honestly, not really anything. I need some good software. One of these days...

Experience: I've been into graphic arts and design fora very, very long time. I developed an interest in photography in my very late teens and used a very finicky Canon EOS for a while before giving it up for a long time. I got into digital photography with a Sony Mavica in 1999 and kept upgrading until I finally got back to a DSLR with my D80 kit purchased in 2006. It's been a great ride ever since!

Favorite shots: I love shooting on the water, from my kayak. That is by far my favorite, and I especially like flora photography and catching the amazing waterfowl & other creatures of my waterways. I also really enjoy working with models when I can, but I find that it is very difficult to get the model you want who will carry the attitude you need, so I tend to prefer landscapes; they don't talk back.
