“The best camera is the one in your hand”

Whilst this statement is somewhat twee in my personal opinion, it does fundamentally work at a very basic level. If you’re going to shoot, then you need a camera, and the one in your hand you need to learn. Quite often I’m involved in discussions around why a person isn’t getting what they want (read: expect) out of their camera. Most of the time it’s because they didn’t take the time to learn the camera properly; and expect it to do things that perhaps it cannot automatically. All cameras (or any device for that matter) have limits, and you must learn those limits, and how to they intersect with the limits of capturing light. This applies not only to the camera body, but also into the lenses you put on the front, and then how they operate together. There is no point in having the latest, and greatest, and full camera bag if you don’t know how to use it.

So for me, this is a better statement:

“The best camera is the one you have learnt”

Below you’ll find a constantly updated list of the gear I use. Perhaps not the film camera’s as much these days (although I really should!), and within there are a range of levels of gear itself. If you have any questions about my gear, or why I have chosen any of it, then please let me know.
