My Kit

This is a bit anoraky. I think it helps to know what people shoot with. BUT, the kit I use mostly isn't the reason for my success or otherwise at taking nice photos. Lots of people take beautiful photographs with cheapest and most basic equipment.

This is an old shot, I will post a more recent one when I get to it.

1. Canon EOS 40D
2. BG-E2N Battery Grip
