Thank you for visiting my photography site and I do hope you enjoy the photographs! To purchase any prints, please go to https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tibor-vari.html?tab=artworkgalleries
By
training and profession, I am a computer programmer and systems
analyst by training (currently an Account
Executive for the leader in Intelligent Virtual Agents. I also
love to travel and have always enjoyed taking photographs of my
journeys. Unfortunately, like many, I was not pleased with the
results I got back. As the years went by, I kept promising myself
that I'll get some good equipment and become more knowledgeable
about photography. It took nearly dying on an operating room table
in late 1992 to get myself into gear (and realize how short life
really is). That lesson was reinforced again in 2019 with the same
surgery. Ugh!
After recovering, I purchased a Nikon 6006 in 1993 and started
reading everything I could get my hands on regarding photography,
while taking numerous photo workshops. My hard work has paid off
with many of the landscape, wildlife images having won local, state
and international awards. From this foundation, I have started a
photography business.
The equipment I use is extensively Nikon.
In the Fall of 2004, I purchased a D70, and jumped 100% to digital
in April of 2005 with the Nikon D2x. Currently I am using the Nikon
D4, D850 and D500. The lenses I use are all Nikon and include the
14-24 F2.8, 24-70 F2.8e, 70-200 VR F2.8e, and the big cannon the 600
F4e. If you are interested, I'm looking to sell the D4, 200-400 F4
and the 16-35 F4, just contact me and make an offer.
For tripods, I use Gitzo and
have the GT3533LS and the GM5540 monopod (I'm looking to sell my
older GT3540LS if you are interested),. For ball heads, I use
either a Really Right
Stuff BH-55 or a Wimberley
II (sports/wildlife). For portrait lighting, I use Norman
ML600R lights and the PocketWizard
wireless unit.
For software, I use Photoshop, Lightroom, ProShow Gold, Photomatix
Pro, Aurora HDR, Luminar, DXO Photolab, Nik Collection and SpyderX
Elite for calibration.
I was a member of the Teaneck Camera Club
over 17 years and was President from 2005/06 through 2006/07 and VP
from 2003/04 through 2004/05. I also belong to the Ridgewood
Camera Club. At the NJ state level, I was the 1st VP of
NJFCC from 12/2006-08, which is a federation of NJ camera
clubs, and was a member of PSA. In all three organizations, I have
won numerous medals, merit awards, honorable mentions and
acceptances. In the summer of 2012, I moved to Monument
Colorado, which is just north of Colorado
Springs. It doesn't get much better for photography!
I have also been a photography workshop guide since 2005 travelling to many of America's parks such as The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Glacier, Olympic, Mount Rainier, Yosemite, The Great Sand Dunes and Acadia National Parks. I have also run a number of Fall Color Workshops in Colorado.
In the future, there will be additional landscape photographs added to the site. The images are a compromise between looking good on a computer monitor and still having the image download to your browser in a reasonably few short seconds. Please note that the resolution of 72 dpi makes these pictures almost useless for downloading and printing. They have been optimized for web viewing. If you would like to purchase my prints, please visit my site on Fine Art America. Note that the FAA logo is not in the final print that gets purchased!
I have had the pleasure of meeting many professional photographers in the field such as Art Wolfe, John Shaw, Galen Rowell, Bill Fortney, Thomas Mangelsen and Joe Lange. Each of them are great landscape photographers who have all been an inspiration for me.
I hope you enjoy my images and decide to purchase
some prints for your home or office. If you have any special uses in
mind, please do not hesitate to contact
me to discuss your ideas.
By the way, my ethnic background is Hungarian for
those curious about my name.
