One of my hobbies is wildlife photography. Of course as a wildlife professional I love to see beautiful scenes in nature. Wildlife photography provides an opportunity to spend time outdoors observing wildlife or landscape scenes. The photography provides a challenge in capturing the right moment and right composition.
My equipment:
- Canon EOS 10D, 6.3 megapixel SLR
- Sigma 80mm-400mm, 1:4.5-5.6 APO Imager stabilizing lens.
- Sigma 28mm-70mm, 1:2.8-4 Lens
- Sigma 17-35mm, 1:2.8-4 DG HSM Lens
- Sigma 1.4X & 2.0X Teleconverters
- Canon Speedlight 420EX E-TTL Flash
- Manfrotto Monopod with ball head
- Manfrotto Tripod with ball head
It isn't top of the line but for mid-range equipment it covers all the ranges and situations I have needed and stays within my budget.
At the 2007 Sullys Hill Birding and Nature Festival I gave a presentation on the basics of nature photography. You can view this presentation by clicking on the link below.
