A bit about me, and the cameras I use.
Ok, where to start? Name? Keith, and I live with my dog, Jim, in Milton Keynes.
I used to work, but have recently been made redundant, (Tesco needed to make even more profits), so that gives me more time to take pictures.
My 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 cameras are,
a Canon 7D,
a Canon 50D,
and a Canon 400D
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 lives on the 50D
Sigma 10-20mm Wideangle Lens, which lives on the 400D.
And the lens that currently never leaves the camera, (the 7D), a 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 few spare batteries, (learnt the hard way whilst out one day), and a couple of memory cards; these fit in a pocket, so no problem there.
A pair of binoculars are usually hanging from my neck, or shoulder too.
Canon 18X50 IS.
I also use a Sony Handycam, HDR-PJ10E. A great little camera for movies, and small enough to fit in a pocket.
Other kit, Canon Extenders, EF 1.4XII and EF 2XII. Don't get the use very much, but handy to have.
