I started taking photos in the mid ’70s, so I could follow my children as they grew up. This expanded into various other interests and hobbies over the years. The most recent passion is for cars, and Porsches in particular. I think lenses are key when investing in camera kit, especially if you have no control over where and when a photo opportunity will present itself. My 18-105mm offers great versatility, because space restrictions and the distance of the subject can be easily overcome by simply varying the focal length.
