Some of it has to do with brand loyalty, I used Nikon&#8217;s when I shot with film, in fact, I still own them. There is nothing wrong with other brands, a camera is just a tool, but here are three of my top reasons:<\/p><ol><li><em>I prefer the Nikon button layout. Some brands like Sony are more menu-driven.<\/em><\/li><li><em>I like that Nikon has not changed its camera lens mounting system (until the Z Series) as Canon did. The ability to use old glass that can be thirty years old opens a huge range of equipment possibilities.<\/em><\/li><li><em>Nikon&#8217;s reliability. I have dropped my camera, used in hot, cold, and wet conditions with no performance issues. I know of photographers that switched to Nikon, because their equipment could not handle the elements.<\/em><\/li><\/ol><h5>My Gear<\/h5><ul><li>Nikon D500 &#8211; Nikon&#8217;s best cropped sensor DSLR &#8211; 10fps which is great for wildlife and sports.<\/li><li>Nikon D7100 &#8211; My back-up camera, was their best cropped sensor. I still use a lot especially if there is a chance to damage the camera.<\/li><li>GoPro Hero 6 &#8211; I strap this to my bike, head, chest, back-pack, etc. Great for quick videos and grab those crazy moments.<\/li><li>Tamron 10-24mm Wide Angle f\/3.5-4.5 &#8211; This was the first lens that I purchased and is the one I use the most. Waterfall, landscapes, interior shots, close-ups , etc.<\/li><li>Tamron 17-55 f\/2.8- A great fast all around lens. Great for portraiture and lo-light situations.<\/li><li>Nikon 18-70mm f\/3.5-4.5 &#8211; A nice all-around consumer lens with a little more range than the Tamron.<\/li><li>Nikon 28-105mm f\/3.5-4.5\u00a0 &#8211; This is glass from the 1990&#8217;s. Another great all-around lens. Great for product shots and has a neat Macro feature.<\/li><li>Nikon 35mm f\/1.8 &#8211; fast prime, great for portraits.<\/li><li>Nikon 40mm Macro f\/2.8 &#8211; If you can get close to your subject &#8211; a great Macro lens &#8211; the best bang for your buck.<\/li><li>Nikon 50mm f\/1.8 &#8211; I have two of these old manual focus beauties.<\/li><li>Nikon 70-300mm f\/4.5-5.6 &#8211; A decent consumer grade lens. Use when I do not want lug my heavy 200mm lens.<\/li><li>Nikon 80-200mm f\/2.8 &#8211; A lens from the 1980&#8217;s. This is my second favorite lens. It is heavy and built like a tank. They produced over 100,000 and was the go to lens for photojournalists.<\/li><li>Tamron 150-600 f.5.6-6.3 &#8211; I love this lens. Weighs less than my 200mm lens and takes rock sharp images, even hand-held. Great for wildlife photography.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3af3386 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3af3386\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">My Editor in Chief - Chelsea Paige<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-704cb4d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"704cb4d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4bd7563\" data-id=\"4bd7563\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ffb62b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ffb62b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>My daughter, Chelsea, is my proofreader and editor.

Places that I love to be around. Hi, I am Travis, a landscape, nature, wildlife, and the occasional portrait and wedding photographer living in the Upper Valley. A lover of exploring nature, I discovered that combining my passion for the outdoors and photography was the perfect mix. Nowadays, I am rarely seen without a camera by my side. I photograph anything and everything using the vast abundance of tools available including, digital and traditional film equipment. I enjoy the endless possibilities and the ability to capture a moment in time to cherish later because what you see is always changing. If you have an interest or passion for photography. &#8220;Let&#8217;s talk&#8221;.

Displayed at Quail Hollow &#8211; &#8220;My favorite photos&#8221;, 2019. Equipment I use Nikon camera bodies, GoPro sport cameras, Nikon Lenses, Tamron Lenses, Benro Tripods, and B&amp;W Filters. Why do I shoot with Nikon? Some of it has to do with brand loyalty, I used Nikon&#8217;s when I shot with film, in fact, I still own them. There is nothing wrong with other brands, a camera is just a tool, but here are three of my top reasons: I prefer the Nikon button layout. Some brands like Sony are more menu-driven. I like that Nikon has not changed its camera lens mounting system (until the Z Series) as Canon did. The ability to use old glass that can be thirty years old opens a huge range of equipment possibilities. Nikon&#8217;s reliability. I have dropped my camera, used in hot, cold, and wet conditions with no performance issues. I know of photographers that switched to Nikon, because their equipment could not handle the elements. My Gear Nikon D500 &#8211; Nikon&#8217;s best cropped sensor DSLR &#8211; 10fps which is great for wildlife and sports. Nikon D7100 &#8211; My back-up camera, was their best cropped sensor. I still use a lot especially if there is a chance to damage the camera. GoPro Hero 6 &#8211; I strap this to my bike, head, chest, back-pack, etc. Great for quick videos and grab those crazy moments. Tamron 10-24mm Wide Angle f\/3.5-4.5 &#8211; This was the first lens that I purchased and is the one I use the most. Waterfall, landscapes, interior shots, close-ups , etc. Tamron 17-55 f\/2.8- A great fast all around lens. Great for portraiture and lo-light situations. Nikon 18-70mm f\/3.5-4.5 &#8211; A nice all-around consumer lens with a little more range than the Tamron. Nikon 28-105mm f\/3.5-4.5\u00a0 &#8211; This is glass from the 1990&#8217;s. Another great all-around lens. Great for product shots and has a neat Macro feature. Nikon 35mm f\/1.8 &#8211; fast prime, great for portraits. Nikon 40mm Macro f\/2.8 &#8211; If you can get close to your subject &#8211; a great Macro lens &#8211; the best bang for your buck. Nikon 50mm f\/1.8 &#8211; I have two of these old manual focus beauties. Nikon 70-300mm f\/4.5-5.6 &#8211; A decent consumer grade lens. Use when I do not want lug my heavy 200mm lens. Nikon 80-200mm f\/2.8 &#8211; A lens from the 1980&#8217;s. This is my second favorite lens. It is heavy and built like a tank. They produced over 100,000 and was the go to lens for photojournalists. Tamron 150-600 f.5.6-6.3 &#8211; I love this lens. Weighs less than my 200mm lens and takes rock sharp images, even hand-held. Great for wildlife photography.
