Equipment
Body:
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
My first digital SLR. What can I say? It’s great.
Lenses:
- Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4.3-5.6 lens (and with EW-60C hood)
This is the lens included with the camera, it’s a decent lens… not really good, but not bad either. - Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Mk II lens
The “Nifty Fifty”–the fastest and cheapest lens I own, but the image quality is really good, and at f/1.8 it’s really good in low light. - Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 lens (with EW-65II hood)
This lens, which is a wide-angle on a film or full-frame sensor body, works out to be a normal focal length on a small sensor camera. It’s also pretty good in low light at f/2.8. - Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens (with EW-83E hood)
This is my favourite lens of the bunch, it’s really wide, and the image quality is fantastic. - Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens (with ET-65B hood)
This is my newest lens, and the only stabilized one I own. I haven’t used it much yet, but I bought it to replace my 55-200mm, which I thought wasn’t quite long enough.
Accessories:
- Canon Speedlite 430EX flash
- Lowepro Slingshot 300AW Bag
- Slik Able 300DX Tripod
- UltraPod II Mini Tripod
- Sony GPS-CS1 GPS Data logger
- Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3
- Canon Wireless Remote Control RC1
Software:
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
I do almost all my photo editing and organizing in Lightroom. It’s a great piece of software for RAW processing and full image adjustments. - Pixelmator
When I need to get down and edit parts of an image, I use Pixelmator, it’s a simple, but very fast and functional image editor. - Gimp
When I find something that Pixelmator doesn’t do (or doesn’t do well) I fall back on the Gimp. I used the Gimp for years on Linux, and would continue to use it on OS X but it still relies on X11 and therefore doesn’t support pressure-sensitive tablets on OS X. - GPS Photo Linker
A free piece of OS X software for geocoding image. I use it to encode coordinates in my photos.
