# About me
My name is Jon, and like most people who live in Florida, I'm from New York.As of right now, I've been using DSLRs for about five years, and I'm entirely self-taught.
Though my career is now based around portrait and fashion photography, my goal with deviantART has primarily been to showcase my work with wildlife. I would like to continue to find exposure through sharing my unique vision and experiences, and to continue to inspire others to learn about animals, nature, and the world in which we live.

Your reptile work is spectacular. What lens do you use for this?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!
For most of the close-up work I usually use a Nikkor 60mm F/2.8 (which you can see here: [link] ).
To be honest, as much as I love the lens itself, I/m going to need to get something better for close-up/macro work. The 60mm is really more of a portrait lens, but because I use a DX body (with a cropped sensor) it can be used for macro photography. The real problem is that to do so I have to get within as little as two inches of my subject, which really risks spoiling the moment, making the animal nervous, or even getting bitten (or stung)!
Since I just purchased a 50mm F/1.4G for portraits, I plan to try out a 105mm F/2.8 lens to see if it would be what I'm looking for in a Macro lens.
