Sigma 70-200 2.8 EX DG II – This lens is great for sports photography, and is very comparable in many ways to the L-series 70-200 offered, but without the expense. For shooting on the 300-side of things, I can’t recommend the IS enough, it really helps to make super crisp pictures. Also note that there is the image stabilized version (IS) and one without IS. While the 75-300 is no longer made, the 70-300 is still made – so I linked to that instead. I mostly use this overseas, especially in Africa. (Canon 7D with 17-40, 25mm F/10, 1/250s at ISO-100, –.3)Ĭanon 75-300 Image Stabilized – This is my primary lens for any long range shots. Of primary importance to me is that it works in my underwater case (noted below). (Canon 7D, 22mm F4.5, 1/30s at ISO-1250)Ĭanon 17-40 F/4L – While this overlaps a bit with the 10-22, it’s a great walkaround lens, and similar in zoom to the 18-55 included stock on many Canon’s – though with incredible optics. It’s a wide angle, but it works really well in low light, and produces very sharp shots. There’s a F1.2 and F1.4 version that are great…but again, the F1.8 is only $90ish and awesome.Ĭanon 10-22 EF-S F3.5-4.5 – I got this at the same time as the 7D, and it’s quickly become a great travel lens. It has incredible depth of field for less than $100. Virtually all of my cooking photos are taken using this. Here’s what I use the, in order of using it the most, to least:ĥ0mm F1.8 – This is my favorite lens. The lenses are compatible with all of these. Over time I upgraded the camera body to the XTi, and now the 7D. I originally had the Canon Digital Rebel (300D), which uses any EOS SLR lens. While the pancake is nice from a size perspective, I find that I most often use the 11-27.5mm, simply because it gives me a bit of flexibility. I bought the package with both lenses (11-27.5mm and 10mm). It also automatically adds the GPS position into all the photos, which is handy. It also works great for pool shots where I don’t want to deal with getting my full underwater setup (below) all put together. I picked this up early in 2014 and have been using it when travelling on shorter trips (such as work trips). This DSLR is fully waterproofed and sorta drop-proof. I also have an older Canon XTi as well that sorta floats around the house. If you’re looking for a cheaper option (at less than half the price), my wife has the Canon T1i camera, which includes 720p HD video as well as all the usual photography stuffs.Īll my images taken with the 7D (or other DSLR’s I use) start with ‘IMG_#’. I find it great for quickly swapping back and forth between taking short videos and taking incredibly clear photos. It does both still photography, as well as HD video (1080p & 720p). I’ve been using DSLR cameras for years now, and this one came out this past October. Travel & Trips and/or Really Nice Looking shots: All my images taken with this camera start with ‘P#’, if you’re curious which are which (I use the original name in all photos on the blog). While the shutter speed isn’t the fastest out there, it works well for virtually everything. Even at night, it’s not too bad for ledge or handheld shots like the below. It’s waterproof down to 4 meters, which is basically all I need for everyday use (or beach use). The little pocket sized Lumix is the camera I take running, cycling and swimming. This one lacks GPS like the TS-3, but I found I never used it anyway – and I saved a bunch of money since it’s under $175US. I used to use the Lumix TS-3 waterproof camera, but after years of use I retired it this past winter (Dec 2014) and upgraded to the Lumix DMC-TS25. In general I tend to use my phone (iPhone 6), however for sports activities I use a small waterproof & drop-resistant camera. A little point and shoot for sports stuff while working out, and then a digital SLR (DSLR) camera for prettier photography. By and large, I use two cameras aside from my phone. I like taking lots of photos, and I get a lot of questions on the gear I use – both for everyday photos for the blog, as well as on trips. (Everything below is far older, like, stinky running shoes older) UPDATE: FULL and COMPLETE LIST AS OF 2017 is LOCATED HERE!!!
