My Gear

I’m very slowly changing my camera gear to mostly all RF (Mirrorless) gear. I would love to own the RF 200-800mm lens for wildlife, but I need an income first

Camera

Canon R5 – I’ve now gone mirrorless!! but still using the lenses below with an adapter

Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro – A lens for use in scenarios where I want to get up close and personal with a tiny subject. A MUST for those wanting a fantastic macro lens. Of course, it can be used for telephoto shots in your landscapes and for portraits

Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L II USM – My most used lens. Deemed from Ken Rockwell as the ‘World’s Sharpest Midrange Zoom’

Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens - An excellent piece of kit. Used for wildlife

Canon RF 35mm f1.8 Macro - Recently bought. My intentions is to replace this lens with the 24-70 above, and use it for landscapes and some close ups

Canon EF 1.4x III Extender for Canon EF 100-400mm. My plan is to own the RF 200-800, and then selling the 100-400 IF the 200-800 is pin sharp

Spare Canon R5 Battery - Type LP-E6NH battery

Benro Mach3 TMA38CL Carbon Fibre Tripod and Benro VX30 Dual Panoramic Ball Head - Much lighter combination than what I previously owned

Pixel TW-283 90 Wireless Timer Remote Control – Needed a remote then I didn’t need to have my finger on the trigger all the time whilst trying to capture images of salmon jumping. Also perfect for wildlife and general use

Peak Design Slide Camera strap - The #1 best selling camera strap available. I’ve owned it for quite some time now and can’t fault it

Manfrotto Offroad Hiker 30L – Nice bag and does the job. But if the camera compartment is in, there’s less room in the main compartment for everything else. I did a small review on my blog. No longer available to buy

Kase Revolution Magnetic Circular Filter 95mm Pro Kit - Newly bought piece of kit. The days of screw-on filters are a thing of the past

Software

Lightroom and Photoshop subscription - The software I use to process my photos

Photomatix Pro & Aurora HDR - These two software are for creating HDRs. They are used very lightly because Lightroom does a good job at merging different exposures

Video

Camera: GoPro Hero 10 + various gear

Editing Software - Davinci Resolve 18
