MY PHOTOGRAPHY AND YOUTUBE VIDEO GEAR
Photography is not about the camera used to create the image. The best images are about the scene or subject, the light, the mood and the story. They are also, very much, about being in the right place at the right time. So it’s important that whatever gear you use allows you to do that.
I am an opportunistic photographer, flexibility and the ability to switch styles and approaches quickly depending on subjects and conditions is important to me, as is being able to carry my gear without aggravating my bad back.
I now use a micro four thirds system
