Hello from San Francisco

[scotch59]

Hello everyone! My name is Ben, I'm 20 years old and currently living and going to college in San Francisco. As you can see I am new to this forum, so i thought I would introduce myself. I have been interested in photography for the past 5 years, I have owned a Nikon D40 for the past 3.5 years (hopefully will be upgrading to a D300 or 300s once i save up more) I am most interested in shooting land/starscapes and am trying to broaden my range with more studio work, but that's hard when you have no job

hopefully i will renew my website membership soon, but in the meantime my portfolio is only on flickr here: Flickr: bentappe's Photostream

my equipment:

NikonD40
Nikon 18 -55 f/3.5
Sigma 18 - 200 f/3.5 DC OS HSM
SB600 flash
tripod + various filters
