I have been using a Nikon D5300 since 2015. It is an oldie but goodie. Totally outdated now that most are mirrorless. A Tamron 16-300mm is my go to lens.
Sweet. I have a Nikon D300 with a VR 18-105 zoom. I hardly use it tho and I should do. I recently saw a nice Leica but 8+ grand is a bit much 😁 Would love to do some Macro stuff actually…
I can so relate to all of these. Wonderful captures – the first one jumps out of the frame, and are there variegated leaves in the second one? Love the change between colour and monochrome – uplifts the wonders even more.
Out of My Write Mind 
Excellent photography! May I ask what camera you use?

Get out there and use that puppy! Yep, 8 grand is a bit out of reach….way out of reach (lol).

Great examples! My favorites are the black-and-white images as they emphasize the shapes in each photo.
