Photography Gear

Photography... in the '80s and '90s a sort of dormant hobby of mine (or: unavoidable sidekick of the other hobbies :-)), but it really came back to life with the introduction of the digital cameras. Nowadays, photography is among my most passionate of interests.

After starting out digitally with a Nikon CoolPix 950 in 1999, I've been exclusively using Canon cameras for many years now. After progressing through a compact PowerShot S1 IS and an EOS 350D DSLR, my main camera is now the Canon EOS 450D. It was with the EOS 350D back in 2005 that I began to take photography more serious.

My current photo gear consists of:

• Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi ^{1 2 3 4}
• Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8}
• Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM ^{1 2 3 4}
• Tamron SP AF17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) ^{1 2 3}
• Canon Speedlite 430EX flash ¹
• Kenko PRO 300 DG 1.4x TC ¹
• Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod ¹ + Manfrotto 488RC2 ball head ²
• Lowepro Mini Trekker AW Forest Green/Black ¹
• B+W S03 DH 67mm Circular Polarizer filter  
• Canon RS-60E3 remote switch  
• Amod AGL3080 GPS Data Logger/Photo Tracker ^{1 2}
