ABOUT
People, history, and travel have always been the prime drivers of my interest in photography. People around the world seem to love to share themselves once you find common ground and can break the barrier of shyness. It is fascinating to share a photo with a group or an individual and witness the joy and surprise when they see themselves in their normal surroundings.
GEAR
My "walking around" gear is normally a Canon 5D Mark III camera with a 24-105mm zoom lens, which covers about 85% of my shooting. I will change to a 70-300mm lens for anything more distant and may add a 2x doubler if I need even more reach. My choice of flash is a Canon 270EX II unit, as I don't do a lot of added light and will generally add exposure in post-production. Virtually everything I shoot is processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic, which covers most of my needs. Anything requiring more specific work will be done in ON1 Photo Raw 2024.
