Photography
Gear
Though
photographic equipment won't go out and make great images for
you, good quality gear does make that task rather easier. My
gear nowadays is pretty much exclusively Canon. I use Canon
EOS Digital bodies. The image quality of the 20D (and previously
10D and D60) allows printing to A3 and beyond.
For
low light wildlife photography a 70-200mm f2.8IS makes an ideal
partner for the 300mm f2.8 lens with teleconvertors and provide
a light but fast option when going out with a single lens. When
I 'go light' I like to use Lowepro belt pouches and a Toploader
zoom pouch.
Also
in the bag (A LowePro Mini-trekker) you’ll find.......
-
28-135mm ‘do it all’ lens
- 20-35mm
for wide angles
- 100mm
macro which works really well with teleconvertors
- a
really close focusing 20mm Sigma which is great for flower
and fungus close ups in confined spaces
- a
50mm f1.8 standard lens
- Nixvue
Vista and Giga One Drives for
downloading memory cards in the field
- A
few other sundries such as flash guns and close up filters
and that’s about it.
- I
generally put the camera and lens on a beanbag, tripod or
home made support to help stabilize the outfit.
