Hello All.

A quick howdy all for my first post, I stumbled on to this site a week or two back and being an avid photographer I find I am spending a lot of time browsing the forums, a lot of great advise, thank you.

A quick run down on my interest in photography, I am a contributing photographer for Dragster Australia, my love of shooting the drags goes back thirty years, I use all Nikon, for no other reason than it was the first camera I purchased and I feel no need to change. a typical day at the drags will see me carrying a D200, a 17-55mm 2.8 zoom, a 70-200mm 2.8 zoom, a TC 1.7 converter and a SB800 flash, with that combination I feel I have it all covered, shortly I will be updating to a D300, and a bit further down the track a 400 2.8 prime, an expensive addition that I hope is not too far off.

That's about me in a nut shell, my user name comes from my love of playing bluegrass style guitar, another one of my loves going back many years, a happy new year to all,

Regards, Fred Dwyer.

Welcome on board Fred, there are a few motor sport nuts on here, myself included.

Nice to see another one, specially one with so many years experience! Love some of your work already!

Cheers
Brett

WOO HOO!

Another motorsports nut.

Welcome aboard mate, look forward to seeing some images, and to learning something from your 30 years experience.

Might see you one day at WSID (if I ever actually get there).
