My Photography Equipment

As a landscape photographer, I have owned many different Canon lenses over the years, including numerous primes , including larger telephoto lenses.

Lately, I’ve circled back to what has always been my main three ( 24-70, 70-200, and 180 macro) for landscapes, replacing all primes I had in this focal range.

The 300 was added primarily for grand kids outdoor sports, though additionally sees action for wildlife, landscapes, and basketball. The 200mm is for high school basketball, as well periodically for other sports. The 11-24 replaced my 16-35, and will be used both in landscape photography as well a few wide angle views inside the gym at high school basketball

Thought for the Day

"If you do what you can do,

and I do what I can do,

together, we can make a difference.”
