I started shooting in 1968 with a Nikon F, and shoot for myself. Microstock is a great venue for such. I love nature, outdoors.
I currently use a Nikon D70 and a D200, and 18-70mm, 18-200VR, and 70-300VR lenses, a bogen 3001, grad and pola filters, with a Dell Vostro 1500 and a Dell 20" WSXGA+ editing monitor. I work everything through Photoshop, and as I love deep saturated colors, but still have trouble with microstock acceptance due to the noise, banding, and posterization inherent in 8bit JPEG images.
One tech change I'd love to see would be a digital camera exposing with shoulders rolling off dynamic range like film.
