Greetings everyone!
My name is Ryan Magnuson and I am looking to explore my creative side a bit more! My hopes are to eventually get good enough to develop a business that I could expand once I retire. I am currently a full time police officer. 

I just purchased my first professional full frame camera. I purchased used due to my budget, however I it is a Nikon D700 and I have just 2 lenses to go with it. I have a Tamron 28-105 f/2.8 and a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4.

I have a real interest in landscape photography, and portrait photography.

I look forward to learning from all the professionals on this forum!

God Bless,
Ryan

Hey Ryan welcome to the site!  Nothing wrong with buying used.  The D700 is a great camera.  A few in my camera club use this camera.  

See you around!
