Me and the kit
A bit about me, and the camera I use.
Ok, where to start? Name? Keith, and I live with my cat and dog in Milton Keynes. I do work, but find it gets in the way of my photography. Oh well, have to fund it somehow I suppose.
Main photographic interests are Nature Photography, but I'll try anything.
I can also be found, with more pictures and some ramblings, at my blog.

The current camera is a Canon 50D
Lenses include the kit lens, 18-55, which I must admit I rarely use.
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.
Sigma 105 DG Macro lens; a great lens, which will be dusted down, and used again when all the Dragonflies and other insects begin to make an appearance.
And the lens that currently never leaves the camera, Canon EF 100-400mm f/4-5.6L IS USM, (that’s what the box says). A superb lens, which enables hand held shots when it would require a tripod. Since I hate lugging stuff around when I’m out, it’s proved to be worth every penny!
A spare battery, (learnt the hard way whilst out one day), and a couple of memory cards; these fit in a pocket, so no problem there.
Canon Extenders, EF 1.4XII and EF 2XII. Don't get the use very much, but handy to have.
The rest?
A bag, Slingshot AW300, that sits at home most of the time, and a Manfrotto monopod that keeps it company.
Next lens on the list would be a wideangle. Not sure which yet, keeping my options open at the moment.
