New Camera Gear

Hi everyone! As many of you know landscape photography has been a hobby of mine for many years.  My growing passion for taking pictures to a better, more professional level has been inspired with the use of my Sony A77 DSLR camera. The camera was gifted to me by a lifelong friend, and fellow professional photographer, Bryan Edward of Bryan Edward Creative. He shared his passion and talent with me which has given me the tools I need to capture spectacular moments in nature.  The abounding beauty of the wild west has inspired me to continue to take beautiful hikes and trips to places where I can spend my free time photographing the seasons in all of their splendor. There are few things that make me happier than being outside taking pictures of the magnificent micro and macro natural world.  I have been using two different lenses to capture these beautiful moments. I have a fixed prime 35mm lens, and a 18-75mm lens. To really capture distant wildlife and the far away shots I need to upgrade to a better zoom lens that can take me to a focal point of 300mm and beyond.  I am so appreciative of the overwhelming support I have gotten from my friends and family over the years in respect to my photography. I really love taking pictures, and I compiled some of my favorites to create 2019 calenders! They are now available for purchase at The Western Stars Gallery in Lyons or of course through me personally. Any donation toward helping upgrade my gear would be greatly appreciated. I am promising the following: Donations: $20 or greater Receive a 4x6 print with a personalized thank you message $40 or greater One Free 2019 Calendar $100 or greater  One Free 2019 Calender, AND One Free 11x18 Landscape Original Photograph High Quality Mounted Print. (I will email you a selection) $250 or greater One Free Personal Outdoor Portrait Photo Shoot, One Free 2019 Calender, AND One Free 11x18 Landscape Original Photograph High Quality Mounted Print.  Thank you for your support! Even if you can only afford $10 it makes a difference, and I appreciate it so very much. I intend on creating a website, and giving back a percentage to Children's Cancer Research in the upcoming months once I get This off the ground. This gofundme will be open to donation until 10/2/18. Rewards will distributed by 10/15/18.  -Ian Taylor
