I often get asked what type of camera and lenses I use. Since I have been taking photographs since I was a kid, I have learned quite a bit about what makes a good choice for equipment. As with anything, you have to do research and find out what works best under YOUR circumstance, budget, etc.

I have long since been a fan of Canon products. I won't go into all the specifications of everything. If you have the interest, you can always do a Google search, and find out ALL the details, and also going prices, etc. A very good source of information can be found at either Digital Photography Review or The Digital Picture. Both are excellent choices to learn about digital photography.

The camera body I use is the Canon EOS 400D

The lens I use 99% of the time is the Canon 24-70mm f2.8L USM as it has an excellent wide angle and a decent zoom for most situations. The 2.8L is also a faster lens that allows me to shoot with "less than ideal" lighting. In my opinion, the Canon "L" Series lenses are the very best available. Follow the link to read why.

The telephoto lens I use begins where my main lens leaves off. It is the Canon EF 70-200mm F4.0L IS USM.

For closeup photography, I use the Tamron 180mm f3.5 Di Macro.

On rare occasion, I also use a Canon EF 2x II Extender.

The Flash unit I have is the Canon 580EX II Speedlight.

For the tripod I use the Manfrotto 055XPROB body and the tripod head is the 488RC4.

Now I have allowed the shooting details of any image in the main galleries. Just click on an image, and the info will appear under the image.
