My Photography Equipment

for Landscape, Wildlife and Youth Sports Photography

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 (16-25, 24-70, 70-200) for landscapes, replacing all primes I had in this focal range.

The 300 was added primarily for grand kids sports, though additionally sees action for wildlife and landscapes.
