Equipment used

I appreciate your interest in my images and how they came to be. However, far too often I’ve come across people who are only interested in equipment* with the false belief that only top notch equipment can produce good images. The same people always complain about their equipment not being good enough to produce good images and always want more expensive equipment without actually knowing what it is exactly that they are looking for. While there is some truth in this, it is also true that it is the photographer that makes the images, not the camera nor software!

I’ve made it a rule *not* to discuss equipment except in the context of how they work and the general theory behind them because I’ve gotten tired of the “mine-is-bigger-than-yours” type comparisons. So, don’t ask me what sort of equipment I’ve got, I won’t tell you. Not because I’m trying to hide what I have, but because I feel its a waste of time – time that is better spent talking techniques and artistic interpretations instead.

This much I will say: I use a Canon Digital SLR camera, shoot in RAW and use an all-Adobe workflow including Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe Photoshop to develop my images. And to all you pirates out there who spend thousands of dollars on hardware, but zero on software, yes I did purchase my copy of Adobe Photoshop!
