Me and the kit
A bit about me, and the camera I use.
Ok, where to start? Name? Keith, and I live with my dog, Jim, 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.
Sigma 10-20mm Wideangle Lens
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.
